How do you kill bedbugs without having to sleep in a bed full of pesticides at night? Impale the tiny buggers!

For centuries, eastern Europeans, before the widespread application of pesticides such as DDT, would scatter the leaves from kidney bean plants around their beds as traps. In the morning the leaves would be covered with red dots, where the microscopic hairs on the leaves would have hooked the legs of a bedbug, stopping the creature in its munching little tracks.

Now if I could only find a way to eradicate clothes moths!

I have tried most of these already. The only thing that has worked at keeping this from being worse is the chest freezer. I rotate the rugs, afghans, sweaters, etc. in and out of the freezer. I still find things that I have missed, but for the most part, this is the only thing that has helped. It seems that the "repellents" will only work to keep you from getting moths. After you get them, they don't do much of anything.

I have considered buying the traps, but I will have to buy 2 different kinds, since I cannot figure out which kind of clothes moths I have. And there are 2 moths, each requiring a special trap......but I might be ready to do this soon.
