I don't really see that many moths in my house, but I was curious if this is something everyone needs to do kind of like using shoe trees for their shoes.

Do you guys use anything to ward off moths in your closet?

FWIW, I've never had any moth damage despite never taking any major precautions. That being said, it only takes one damaged jacket to make you wish you had.
I do have 3 pairs of cedar shoe trees that fill the closet with cedar smell. I like to think that helps, though I honestly can't say whether its really enough or not. I also used to have litlle 1" cedar blocks tossed in my sock drawer but they lost their potency years ago.
I have seen cedar planks that you can buy to line your closet walls - basically turning your closet into a cedar vault. I would love to do that.

@Acoustic - Amazon has a good variety of cedar products:

@EF: You probably don't notice them as much anymore because the smell dissipates after a while. Lightly sanding them should start them all right back up.
@Acoustic: The blocks work well inside drawers, bins, etc. If you're using them to fill a room, you'll probably want more than one package. That being said, I don't know the magic number. But the closet you're talking abotu isn't particularly large so that helps.
