Not All Moth Protection Belongs Near Your Clothes

Mothballs can smell harsh. Sprays can feel wrong around clothing and storage spaces. Loose cedar chips can spill, scatter and become messy. The best cedar moth repellent should be natural, clean, easy to place and designed for the spaces where moths and other pests like to hide.

A cedar repellent worth using should do three things well:

1

Repel Naturally

Use Eastern Red Cedar aroma to help discourage pests from settling in.

2

Stay Clean & Contained

The canister format helps release cedar scent without loose chips spilling into drawers or storage bins.

3

Fit Where You Need It

Use in closets, drawers, cabinets, pantries and storage bins.

Dr. Killigan’s Cedar Canisters were made for exactly this: natural Eastern Red Cedar chips in a clean, spill-resistant canister you can place wherever clothing, linens and stored belongings need protection.

HOW TO COMPARE CEDAR MOTH REPELLENTS BEFORE YOU BUY

What Makes a Cedar Moth Repellent Worth Using?

A good cedar repellent should do more than smell pleasant. It should release cedar aroma consistently, stay clean in enclosed spaces and be simple enough to use throughout the home.

1

Real Eastern Red Cedar Chips

Natural cedar aroma helps repel clothing moths, silverfish and other pests.

2

Perforated Spill-Resistant Canister

The lid helps disperse fragrance while keeping chips contained.

3

Closet, Drawer & Storage Ready

Small enough for wardrobes, cabinets, pantries, storage bins and linen closets.

4

Long-Lasting Protection

Designed to remain effective for up to 6 months.

5

Refreshable Cedar Power

Refresh every 1–3 months with Cedar Ward Spray, sold separately, to restore natural cedar oils.

Cedar Repels. It Does Not Kill.

Cedar canisters are designed to help repel moths, silverfish and other pests. They do not kill existing moths, eggs or larvae. If you already have an active clothing moth infestation, clean affected areas, treat vulnerable garments according to their care instructions and consider pairing cedar prevention with Dr. Killigan's Clothing Moth Traps.

See Where Cedar Canisters Work Best

Use them anywhere stored fabrics, linens or household items need quiet, natural protection.

Strong Enough for Storage Pests. Gentle Enough for Your Home.

Your closets and drawers hold the pieces you want to keep: wool sweaters, tailored jackets, blankets, linens and seasonal garments. Dr. Killigan's Cedar Canisters help protect these spaces with natural Eastern Red Cedar chips, without toxic mothballs or harsh spray application.

Safe when used as directed around pets and children, it is a plant-powered alternative to chemical repellents in a clean canister format designed for everyday storage spaces.

No harsh mothball odor and no loose chips scattered across drawers. Every purchase is backed by Dr. Killigan's 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The self-contained tins are neat, clean & so handy for the many closets & storage areas in our house. The fresh-shaved cedar fragrance is perfect-fresh but not overpowering.

I've been using moth balls for 20 years until my daughter talked me into trying these. The Dr Killing team explained the moth protection science to me. So far this has worked great. Best of all, the smell so much better.

Response from Dr. Killigan's

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the product. The Cedar Chips are designed to retain their full scent strength for up to six months. Even after the scent fades for us, moths—who have a very sensitive sense of smell—can still detect the cedar fragrance. To ensure your Cedar Chips remain fresh and effective, we also recommend spritzing them with our Cedar Ward Spray every 1-3 months. This will restore the natural oils and maintain their repelling power, helping to extend their effectiveness beyond the initial 6-month period!

Smells great and actually WORKS!

I kept having the same problem each year- I'd put all my favorite sweaters in a bin in the spring, only to pull them and find them eaten through by moths! Disgusting! I've tried everything from mothballs to freezing my clothes, nothing totally solved the problem. But then I found Dr. Killigan's Cedar Canisters. They are the first solution that's actually worked. No more moths and my clothes smell amazing!

Questions Before You Choose?

No. Cedar chips repel insects; they do not kill moths, eggs or larvae. For active infestations, clean affected areas and consider pairing cedar prevention with moth traps.
