Just shows how long ago since I braved looking there! So had to clear junk, remove bed (not easy as it's very tightly fitted between furniture) scrubbed walls with mould remover. Hoovered violently. P's going to repaint wall but last night there wasn't time, so had to put all back ready for removing again this morning. It looks like the moths attacked a wool under blanket, now in the bin. And the bed/matress is looking a bit dodgy, but that might just be age. I'm resiting getting a new divan, having looked at the prices and been gobsmaked. I am so out of date. I'm researching moth killer. Nothing organic about that!
Update:
Bed was mullahed by moths so had to go. I think its a myth they only eat organic stuff. P chopped it up and next door had the wood from the frame for their wood burner, that saved a trip to the dump. The mattress too was eaten and I wasn't sure whether it was harbouring eggs or grubs so that's been chopped in half with an angle grinder ready to take to the dump in the silver sub. Remedial work still ongoing. New bed and mattress coming on Tues. Wow, Jen - blimey! I hope you get rid of it all!
