Using natural moth repellent to protect your home and belongings from moth damage. Adult moths use their smell to locate the ideal environment to lay their eggs - quiet, undisturbed areas with the necessary protein needed for the larva to grow. Stay Away® Moths pouches placed in these areas emit a scent pleasant to people, but offensive to moths.

About Tineola Bisselliella
 A.K.A. Webbing Clothes Moth, Common Clothes
Moth, or Clothing Moth
 Moth larvae, or caterpillars, are what damages
clothes and fabrics, not adult moths.
 Adult moths only have one goal – to reproduce.

Life Cycle of Moths
 Females lay eggs in clusters of between 30 and
200.
 Eggs hatch between four and ten days later and the
larvae begin feeding immediately.
 Adult moths can live between 15-30 days. Males
die shortly after breeding and females die after
laying eggs.
 Depending on conditions, a complete life cycle can
last anywhere from 30 days to several years.

About Stay Away® Moths:
 Where to Use: Anywhere clothes or linens are stored: drawers, storage chests, linen closets, wardrobes, or
other places you would like to prevent them from entering.
 How it Works: Adult moths use their smell to locate the ideal environment to lay their eggs - quiet,
undisturbed areas with the necessary protein needed for the larva to grow. Stay Away® Moths pouches
placed in these areas emit a scent pleasant to people, but offensive to moths.
 Why it Works: Cedar chests have long been used to store linens and clothing since the scent helps keep
moths away, but the effect has had a short shelf life. We've found a unique blend of essential oils that
incorporates this traditional wisdom into an easy-to-use patented pouch so you can make moths 'stay away'
from your personal property no matter where it is stored, no expensive, heavy, wooden chest necessary!
 How to Use: Use one pouch per storage container or small closet; two pouches per small room. Increase
the number of pouches as needed until desired results are obtained and replace when the scent has
diminished (usually 30-60 days).
 Farm Grown, Effective Ingredients
 Safe Around Kids and Pets
 Ready to Use
