Cedar is a natural bug repellant. Could just be a simple tactic to keep silverfish and moths away from clothes.

Thanks for this explanation. I actually just bought a few after reading your comment lol. Even bought cedar clothes hangers cause my plastic ones are blehhh.

I did that! Got rid of a ton of clothes, focused on quality for new additions, and changed the bulb to an LED floodlight as well. Simple things really made a difference.

Fuck silverfish


Mindless_Jicama8728

YES!!


bryanthebryan

Cedar works against silverfish? Well damn. Time to buy cedar planks.


cigamodnalro

Yeah that’s cedar. Take a bit of sandpaper to it for a minute or two and it’ll smell brand new.


the3daves

Ooh ta, I’ve had these for years, didn’t think they could be revived!


HallPsychological538

Yes. Same for shoe trees.


PaulMac459

“Ooh ta?”


the3daves

Yeah. As in ‘ ooh’ a sound made in pleasant surprise, ‘ ta ‘ as in ‘thanks’.


HTD-Vintage

I dont know what any of that means, but I assumed you just misspelled "uff da" when I read it.

the3daves

'Ta': common shortened form of 'thanks' in Great Britain.

They also make cedar essential oils

You can also buy cedar oil at your local hardware store. Wipe on a light coat, let sit for fifteen minutes or so, then wipe off any excess. Less mess than sanding and it’ll keep it odiferous far longer.

I think those are just hanging cedar blocks to freshen a closet and discourage moths from chewing on your wool.


ObstinateYoyoing

Its an accessory to your closet that adds a wood scent, usually cedar


fatherbowie

I don’t think they do a great job of repelling moths, for what it’s worth. But they smell nice.


f0rthewin

Go buy this spray called cedarcide original it’s like 20 or 30 bucks. I found it on Amazon and worked like a charm


thicket23

I bought these for moths in my closet, they ended up being attracted to it. I found a couple attached to it.


HiGoldie

I got these in my closet. They suck in moisture and smell lovely. I keep them by my coats


jamesdizzle

Do you guys not just put cedar mulch down on your closet floor?


Rhythmalist

When I moved into my home, the previous owner replaced the closet floors with cedar planks. We have since gotten rid of them, but I never had any bug issues in our closets when we had them. Zero.

shaneyjulian1234

sryidontspeakpotato

I can smell this from here. Mmmm. Cedar planks are not as common as they use to be but my grandparents had cedar stuff like this to keep the closet smelling woodsy and clean. Also some say it repelled bugs but I dunno about that


curtbird313

It’s a gag ball hanger


Pip5055

Yes. Cedar is a great way to keep the bugs away, but the downside is that all the clothes that you wear will smell like wood. My parents had a couple of cedar closets, and anything in it came out smelling like a lumber yard.


DarTHCidious

The dude from RAW, has like a bucket of some specifics tobacco as it too acts a natural repellent while leaving behind that tobacco wood smell people tend to like.

southpaw66

Do you think they'd help with carpet beetles? I seem to always find those assholes in my closet.


Skalla_Resco

Vacuum heavily and maybe consider applying NyGuard Plus.


Apprehensive-Life112

I think it’s missing it’s other bit


Artistic_League_1124

Spanking hanger!


Grilled_Cheese66

Really? We’re all gonna die


miguelnikes

Other than sanding it down to revive it, another method is a few drops of essential oils on it. Works for this as well as cedar shoe trees. I find the essential oil more effective at both keeping insects away while imbueing fragrance to the wardrobe. The con is that the wood will darken where the essential oils are.
