These $11 aromatic, non-toxic 'blocks from heaven' are a natural secret weapon against moths this fall – shoppers love the 'great scent'

If you're currently browsing for non-toxic moth repellent solutions, have you considered cedar wood blocks? They are gently and naturally fragranced without the harsh and pungent chemicals often found in synthetic deterrents.

They are necessary as several moth breeds, including the aptly named Winter Moth, have adapted to be active in cooler months, particularly once they've taken up residence in your cozy home. Either way, banish the threat of moths nibbling holes in your favorite winter sweaters by taking action before any damage begins.

That's why we recommend snapping up the Cedar Space Cedar Blocks for Closet Storage available at Amazon to deter these flying pests before it's too late. Here's why we think they're a non-toxic pest control essential.

These natural cedar blocks will deter moths all fall long

All prices were correct at the time of publication.

If there's one indoor pest that's the most irritating – and the tricky to deal with – it's moths. Whether you prefer natural pest control methods or opt for something stronger, all too often the battle against these insects that cause holes in clothes can be tiresome, resulting in ruined garments that can be expensive to repair and synthetic smells you loathe.

That's why we recommend the Cedar Space Cedar Blocks for Closet Storage available at Amazon for getting rid of moths and preventing moths in your closet all fall and winter long.

The best part about these cedar blocks is that they're all-natural, made of one hundred percent red cedar harvested from renewable forests. The fresh cedar scent is also long-lasting – if it begins to fade, all you need to do is simply sand down the block to restore the fragrance.

The surface of the blocks is smooth, too, so you won't need to worry about it scratching delicate sweaters or winter woollies, even if it comes into direct contact with them.

This moth repellent wood isn't just suitable for your small closet ideas, either. You can also use them in your other storage ideas, like to protect your shoes in your boot room ideas, for example.

As one five-star reviewer writes that these boast a 'great scent' and 'perfect size,' another, Jennifer, dubs them 'cedar blocks from heaven.'

She explains, 'Moths. I hate them. I recently moved and am temporarily renting an apartment from my parents. My dad strongly suggested that I utilize my time here wisely and take the opportunity to clean out some more of the things that I've had stored in their basement for decades.

'Most of my belongings were in totes except for a bag or two of old blankets and some stuffed animals that I've kept since childhood that I didn't have the heart to part with. This was the prelude to the coming insect apocalypse.'

The blocks were her successful solution to 'a plague of biblical proportions,' which occurred after mistakenly using toxic mothballs around her cats to banish the moths living on her stuffed animals.

'In one last desperate attempt to rid my apartment of moths before giving up on life entirely, and starting Christmas shopping for gifts for the legion of moths in my apartment because they live here now, I decided to try this brand,' she continues.

'The blocks are not only a decent size, but have a very strong cedar scent. The scent remains and doesn't dissipate quickly like other brands. More importantly, they actually work. I like these so much that I purchased another package this week. I'll definitely purchase more of these products in the near future. I give them five out of five stars.'

Jennifer isn't the only one who swears by cedar blocks as a natural moth deterrent, either. Chiana Dickson, content editor on Solved here at Homes & Gardens, says, 'I keep these in my closet year-round, and never have any issues with moths.'

'Plus, they smell great, freshening up my garments, and are super low maintenance, so they're ideal if you tend to be forgetful or busy, as they don't really ever need replacing.'

Head of Solved, Punteha van Terheyden adds, 'I switched to natural cedar blocks after first trialling a synthetic moth repellent block in the storage space under my ottoman bed. The smell of the chemical-laden blocks was so strong it was seeping around my mattress and actually waking me up. Horrible. Now I stick with cedar and it's not only effective but much gentler on the nose.'

In other words, don't delay purchasing these non-toxic mothball swaps – according to Jennifer, Chiana, and Punteha, you won't regret it.

What to shop

If you prefer DIY solutions, you can also make a homemade moth repellent using natural herbs such as rosemary, lavender, bay and thyme.

Burning lavender instantly deters moths, but combine it with other pest control for long-term control.
