If you are wanting to protect your precious merino wool (and other natural fibre clothing) from pesky wardrobe moths then these are an absolute must!

These pleasantly scented little wooden balls are the perfect natural moth protection. They can be used in your wardrobe, or any areas of the home you want to protect. They will help to ensure that your premium merino items stand the test of time by keeping clothing moths at bay.

Our moth balls are made from natural red cedarwood.  Red cedarwood works as the ideal natural pest repellent by releasing oils from the wood, which deter the hungry moths. Each pack contains 12 balls.

When storing wool products over the summer months (or packing baby clothes away) it is a good idea to make sure they are protected from clothing moths - so it is important to use some form of moth repellant.  This will ensure when you bring your woollens out of storage they are intact.

Pantry and wardrobe moths are super annoying and take time and energy to eradicate. The Sweet Cheeks Merino red cedarwood moth balls are a natural alternative to pesticides.  While naphthalene based moth balls can still be purchased in Australia, these were banned in NZ in 2014. The use of red cedar in wardrobes is an old housewives cleaning trick, which has been used for generations. However it is now available in convenient wooden balls.

Red Cedarwood is a 100% natural non-toxic product, however due to the relatively small size of the individual balls (3.5cm diameter) please ensure they are kept safely out of reach of your little ones.

    Spread the balls out in the closet, drawer, or storage box - however be sure not to put them directly on your clothes as the natural oils could stain. Alternatively the balls can be kept in the handy drawstring bag or separated into mesh bags (such as a laundry bag) – Simply place the bag where you wish to deter moths.

    When the fragrance begins to dull, (approx. six months) lightly sand the balls to rejuvenate their repellent effectiveness.

    Riddle, if I have a moth ball in my left hand and a mothball in my right hand what have I got?

    Kind on skin

    Merino wool is loved worldwide for its hypoallergenic properties. It is renowned for being especially gentle on skin. Despite what you think, merino doesn't scratch, itch or irritate skin. It is said to better for young skin than wearing cotton.

    Kind to the environment

    Our products are made in NZ from 100% NZ or Australian merino wool. Our small batch production process causes minimal waste (and what can be recycled is). All our items are made to exceptionally high quality standards. With the right care, they will last for years.
