          Dried clove, rosemary, and thyme can ward them off. Put some in a little bag and then put it amongst your clothes.

              All of what used to be termed ‘strewing herbs’ will help, none will do what a chemical bomb will.

          Cedar balls are a mild preventative. They’’ll do jack shit about an infestation… another old fashioned is a whole orange studded with cloves (dried out) and hung in your cupboards. Then good old lavender, there is a reason for granny smell
