Mastertrap Cedar Wood Balls Natural Moth Repellent 12pc

Cedar wood contains natural volatile oils that moths find unpleasant. The scent helps mask the attractant odours of wool, silk and other natural fibres that draw moths to fabric in the first place. These solid cedar balls release a steady, low-level fragrance that makes storage areas less appealing to egg-laying female moths.

Cedar works best as a preventive deterrent in clean storage areas, rather than as a treatment for active infestations. If moths or larvae are already present, pheromone traps provide a more direct way to monitor and reduce the population.

Each ball is turned from 100% pure aromatic cedar with no additives or chemical treatments. The natural oils slowly release the familiar cedar fragrance over time. The smooth round shape prevents snagging on delicate fabrics — unlike cedar blocks with edges, the balls move freely in drawers and do not catch on lace, knitwear or fine garments.

Cedar wood also absorbs a small amount of excess moisture, helping maintain dry conditions that discourage musty odours in enclosed storage spaces.

Place 2–3 balls per drawer or storage box, or distribute 6–8 balls throughout a wardrobe. The scent gradually fades after around 6–12 months, depending on airflow. When the cedar fragrance becomes faint, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to expose fresh wood and restore the scent. This process can be repeated several times before the balls lose effectiveness.

For best results, use cedar as part of a layered storage routine. Clean garments thoroughly before storage, as moth larvae are attracted to food stains and skin oils as well as natural fibres. Pheromone traps can be used to monitor for moth activity, while refreshed cedar helps discourage egg-laying in wardrobes and drawers.
