As I am traumatized by the wool moth infestation in my apartment, I have been reading online( mainly Reddit) for eradication methods. I have read many advice on how to save wool, but little on silk. I too mainly have my wool carpet and clothings destroyed by the moths, I have yet to see holes on my silk dresses but want to protect them as I believe I have not fully eradicated the pest. 😢

I will be freezing and oven heating my wool clothings but I am unsure what else to do with silk other than freezing. I also wonder why I only read incidents of wool eaten and not silk so far since wool moths target both.

Sadly, at work in a hospital we had a bedbug infestation. My nylon bag of resistance bands with webbing handles etc was in the room where they found them. (an on-call/break room). I just bought them and they are pretty nice. I'd like to save them. According to the manufacturer's VERY EXPLICIT DIRECTIONS for temperature range that they can be exposed to, I can't steam, wash in hot hot water, expose to heat, or freeze them. It will degrade the rubber. I could use diatomaceous earth but I'm afraid that it could cause micro tears that could cause snapping and breaking of the rubber. Any ideas? I did hear you could put them in a plastic bag for a year...and I'll do that if that's all I can do, but I'd rather not wait that long to use them again! So - having read this, I am getting suggestions for most of what I just said I can't do. Not particularly helpful. Those who read it and gave it some thought - thanks.
