2025 - What I did today

I've found remnants of clothes/carpet moths as well as grub casings, some of which have grubs in them and a very mouldy wall behind the bed in the spare/junk room. 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 I am so out of date.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!

Me too.  Bed arriving today  but don't know what time.  Th contents of the junk room are strewn around our rather small bungalow. It looks like Steptoes (for those old enough to know who I mean) who'd of though so much stuff would come out of a small room.  Furniture has been moved to allow walkway for bed to be delivered but I've just figured I arranged doorstep delivery not to room delivery so P and I might be manoeuvring the bed ourselves.
