Product Description:

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.

    Our Commitment

    We minimise waste by making sure all usable fabric is cut into beanies or mittens and donated to charity. Any fabric scraps too small to sew into something useful are adde to the filling of punching bags which are donated to low decile schools around New Zealand. Merino wool is 100% biodegradable. When it decomposes, like compost, it releases valuable nutrients back into the ground. We used exclusively GOTS certified dyes. Wool fibres are also biodegrade in marine environments, meaning no micro plastic pollution into our oceans. Our fabric is dyed by a company that recycles and re-uses 85% of their water. All Sweet Cheeks Merino packaging and swing tags are recyclable. We do not use poly bags or single use plastic when dispatching our goods. All our postage bags are compostable. We encourage customers to mend any holes first, pass unfit items onto family and friends, donate to charity or compost garments at the end of their life.
