Bug Busters

Worried about moths nibbling at your favourite knits or yarn stash?

Bug Busters offer a natural, gentle way to protect your woollens. With a light botanical scent and insect-repelling properties, they help keep your handmade pieces safe without the harshness of synthetic chemicals.

Perfect for drawers, wardrobes or project baskets, these solid sachets subtly fragrance your space while working to deter clothes moths and other fabric-loving pests. They’re made to protect all kinds of wool, from jumpers and scarves to skeins of yarn and cherished heirlooms.

When the scent begins to fade, a light scrape with a serrated knife reactivates the essential oils and keeps them working for months.

Bug Busters are made in Western Australia from a soap base, vermiculite and a blend of pure essential oils, including Norway spruce, lavender and cedarwood. Everything is plant-based and naturally derived, creating a safe and sustainable solution for fibre care.
