Gaak! I'd use bug bombs on wasps, roaches, or fleas, but not moths.
Moths have such a short life that they're fairly easy to starve out,
and
unlike the rest of the above-mentioned, will die out if their food
source
becomes inaccessble.

My problem is the DH who likes to throw out the jars that I store
stuff
in. What's wrong with having a closet-full of storage jars?....
