Advice on how to prevent moths from eating your clothes:
Camphor deters moths, as does lavender oil, rosemary and cloves or thyme or even orange peel sprinkled over the clothes. Always clean clothes before storing them and re-treat them every six months. Discourage moths by having woollens cleaned before storing, wrap in plastic bags, add some cloves or dried orange peel and seal. Line clothes cupboards and drawers with sheets of white damp-proof paper which can be bought in most wallpaper shops. Moths thrive in damp conditions and this will keep clothes damp free. Remove moth larvae on your clothes by running them through the dryer on the highest heat. Further advice from Good Housekeeping
