Acana Hanging Moth Killer & Freshener, 8 Pack - Lavender Fragrance, Natural Oils - for Wardrobes - Protects Clothing & Bedding - Each Lasts Up to 3 Months

The Bottom Line: YES. If you are packing away your winter coats or protecting expensive knitwear, these are a "set and forget" essential. They solve the biggest problem with traditional moth balls: the horrific chemical stench. The Scent Profile Most moth killers make your wardrobe smell like a laboratory. These use a Lavender fragrance that is actually pleasant. It isn't an overpowering "perfume" smell; it’s a clean, herbal scent that lingers just enough to feel fresh without clinging to your clothes like a cheap air freshener. After five days in a closed wardrobe, that sharp "chemical" bite you usually get with these products is entirely absent. Design & Practicality The slimline design is a real plus. You can hang these between heavy coats without them creating a bulge or taking up valuable rail space. One of the best features is the "End of Life" indicator. Instead of having to guess if the unit is still working three months down the line, there is a clear visual prompt to let you know when the formula has evaporated and it's time for a replacement. The "Spring" Switch I’ve installed these as a preventative measure while switching my wardrobe over for the new season. In the UK, indoor moth activity starts to pick up as the weather warms, so it feels like the right time to get these in place. Who This Is For vs. Who Should Skip BUY THIS IF: You have wool, silk, or cashmere. The cost of one 4-pack is significantly less than replacing one ruined jumper. SKIP THIS IF: You have a massive walk-in wardrobe; you will likely need two packs to get the correct concentration required for a large open space. I've had these in for nearly a week now. While it's obviously too early to report on long-term results, the lack of chemical odor and the ease of the hanging system is an immediate win over the cheaper blocks I used last year.

Easy to install. Decent smell. Seems to be effective moth treatment. Haven't seen any signs of moths in the wardrobes so far. Item is reasonably price.

Fiddly to peel backing off, and takes a few days to take effect, but has got rid of the majority of the moths without a weird chemical smell in the house. I still see the odd one, but I was inundated with them before so this is much more tolerable!

They do the job, but the hook is a bit flimsy.

I have used these for years, the ones that indicate their end of use in the purple backgrounded window. In my photo that is the one on the right. These must now have been replaced with the ones that you have to stick the plastic arrow into to indicate your start month, or expiry month. Anyway these are just awful as soon as you move your clothes on the rail and these move , the front and back fall apart, and even though you click them back together they continue to do the same. The only way to secure is by tape.When I ordered these I thought I was buying the ones with the purple end indicator., as those were shown in the pictures with the advertisement.They are not. I would not recommend or buy these again. Arcana need to go back to the model that worked. A really disappointing purchase.

I had these hanging for over three days now and I've seen a few moths still flying around. I am hopeful that I won't see any more after a month because I've seen it immobilise a spider within a couple of hours in the area where I had one of these. I think it might be dead, I haven't been brave enough to confirm yet. But it looks curled up and hasn't moved from its spot on the ceiling, so the sachet is definitely doing something. Just a warning though, the foil itself is easy to peel off if you just bend the area (there are arrows pointing to it), but there's a thin plastic membrane that separates the foil from the liquid. It's very easy to accidentally peel that off along with the foil too if you're not paying attention. The instructions are not to poke it as it controls how the liquid permeates into the air, so definitely don't peel it off. It is not supposed to come off with the foil. If the liquid spills out, you peeled it wrong xD Edit: This was highly effective on killing spiders in the first two hours. In terms of making moths "disappear", it was effective for about 4 weeks, with some moths still occasionally appearing. After that, moths reappeared with a vengeance from wherever they were hiding. If you don't mind manually killing a few moths and replenishing moth killers every month, then this is a good enough product.

Just what was needed

These are effective to protect clothes from moths. I’ve put some in wardrobe and drawers. The smell is lavender and not unpleasant. Would recommend.
