parasitic wasps to get rid of clothes moths
•••
Clothes moths are stubborn little fucks. They will destroy your sweaters and your sanity. I have spent an ungodly number of hours steaming my clothes, steaming the carpet, freezing my sweaters, putting my sweaters in the oven (on LOW HEAT)... nothing really made a dent. Until: trichogramma moths. They are minute wasps that lay their eggs in moth eggs, arresting the moth egg development. Pretty metal. Full disclosure, I don't know that they are effective bc the wasps are so small you can't see them doing their thing. Calm down, you can see them, it's not an emperor's new clothes (moths) situation--they're just so tiny you don't see them flying around. But I have noticed a marked decrease in moth activity since starting to use them. And apparently textile conservators are big fans! They're cheap so worth a try.

Kanopy
•••
I don't know if everyone knows about Kanopy or no one knows about Kanopy. In case you don't know about Kanopy, here you go. Through your library or university you can make a free account, which gives you monthly credits to watch films. I added about 200 movies to my watchlist, and since there's no way I will be watching 200 movies in the near future I unsubscribed from all other streamers. Hot tip: if you have multiple library memberships or both a library membership and university affiliation, you can have two memberships i.e. double the monthly credits. Nice!
