/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have a big problem and I'm panicking a bit.

I signed a lease on a new flat and then realised a few days after moving in that it has goddamn clothes moths. I haven't moved any of my possessions in but they've been feeding on the curtains, and there are pheremone traps left in the empty wardrobes. The sofas and carpets don't look to have been fed on but they're fabric so they might feed them.

The lease on my current flat doesn't expire for two weeks so I've got a bit of time to try to deal with the problem, but I'm shit scared of moving my lolita clothes over in case they end up destroyed. I've bought some mothballs and I'm thinking of buying some spray and trying to kill them off, plus taking down and hot washing the curtains. I wanted to hoover everything but I'm scared of their eggs taking up residence in the hoover. I've got a steamer as well and I'm hoping that will kill them.

Would it be better to just not move any of my lolita stuff to this place at all? The usual way you manage infestations with normal clothes is regularly washing in really hot water...not an option for most lolita. I'm really scared of it being damaged, or contaminated and passed on to anyone who buys my stuff second-hand. But it'd also be really hard for me to suddenly move it all to my parents' house, since they live hundreds of miles away and I don't have a car.
