Reefer Galler SLA Cedar Scented Moth Repellent Spray, Kills Moths Bed Bugs and Pests on Contact, 15 oz (Pack of 3)

Welcome to your nightmare. I’m going to share my experience so you don’t have to experience the hell I went through. In Jan, 2024 I had a major infestation. I knew I had some in my closet in the past. I had sealed all my cloths with moth balls for 2weeks then washed them all. Clothes moths are a misnomer. They will lay their eggs everywhere. I ended up with them all over my house, even in my refrigerator, inside my dishwasher panel, inside my ice dispenser, everywhere. I transferred them mostly by storing my infested carpet shampooer in different rooms. I didn’t know it was infested. I tried freezing my clothes then washing them again. Tried cleaning with vinegar. So what worked, SLA spray and heating EVERYTHING in the oven. I put everything in aluminum roasting pans for 30 min at 170 degrees, clothes, electronics, medication, lamps, etc. If it fit, it went into the ovens (luckily I have double oven house). If it didn’t fit it got sprayed down with SLA. It took me a month to get them stopped. I put everything into plastic bags after I heated it or sprayed it. I steamed my carpets and sprayed sla. For those worried about its safety, if it was going to harm you I should be dead. I went through 15+ cans. However, I don’t have any breathing problems. I did use a respirator when I sprayed, most of the time.Fast forward to April, 2025. I had not seen any moths or signs of moths for over a yr. I got some files out of a fire safe in my closet and left the lid open. I had not cleaned or sprayed inside the safe bc I heated the keys and couldn’t find them. I thought it was water tight so I wasn’t worried about it. I sprayed the outside and bottom. Then I saw the burgundy eggs on the inside lid after about a month of leaving it open. I had used several files out of there and unfortunately had them in my office and bedroom. I now have started the heating/spraying process over again. I’m not taking any chances. The damn moths were living in those paper files. I want to scream and cry. They can live up to 2 1/2 yrs if conditions aren’t favorable for a normal life cycle.Things I learned:Clean, spray and heat everything.The eggs are a burgundy snotty looking blob or can be a single burgundy spec.The traps didn’t do much for me. With that major infestation I only saw 4 trapped.I had to tear my beds down, look under the bed skirt.They supposedly like the dark but I had them lay eggs on a lamp that was on most of the time.They don’t remove easily. Wiping something down will miss them. They can even be on the walls.Heating items works. It kills adults/larvae and dries up the eggs. FYI, 180 degrees is too hot. I burned a few items. Everything tolerated 170 degrees(lowest my ovens would go). I had a few warped plastic bottles but no harm. I put my iPhone in, dvd players, disc, even pictures, no problems with them.The SLA works on all stages. It is a lifesaver, well maybe just a sanity saver.You have to clean like you are in the cleaning Olympics. Don’t forget to cleaN/heat everything. I won’t forget that anytime soon. What a hellish nightmare. I now have on my calendar to spray after 3 months. That’s how long the spray lasts. I am so thankful for SLA. Good luck, be aggressive or they will get out of control. Moths are the dandelions of the insect world; they just won’t go away.Thank you SLA for your product.

Seems to be doing the job. I also vacuum daily to help eliminate eggs and larvae.

Every few years I have a moth invasion in a remote cabin. I’ve had 1000s of moths invade and have tried everything. I bought cans of this and tons of moth balls and in a recent visit not one moth was alive inside after spraying my last visit. During the last summer I sprayed a very large amount of this spray before leaving during my last 3-4 trips and haven’t seen any new moths…whereas in years past they seemed to be coming back for months. I did spray probably 10 times as much as the can says but I leave for months and it seemed to do the job. Have not had any issues with residue or smells etc….but again I am usually gone between visits for a very long time. I also cover everything (furniture etc) before spraying so I have no opinion on what it would do to furniture etc…I will say the three pack is a ton of this stuff. I’ve only used one can over two year period and it still has a ways to go.

I worked in a store that sold primarily oriental rugs. We sprayed all the rugs on a regular basis. In my home, we had gotten out of the habit of it and started to see some moths flying around the house. We ordered these and took the rugs outside and vacuumed them on both sides, then sprayed them with this. The sprayer generally worked, but sometimes there was a build-up of the spray and it would spittle white blobs of the ingredients. Other than that it worked fine and we hope that we added a layer of protection to our prized oriental rugs.

it worked if you have moths

Absolutely useless thing. We had a clothes moth infestation in the wooden drawers of our bedroom set. I sprayed all of the drawers thoroughly once, the moth kept coming as nothing happened. We kept the furniture empty and observed if anything comes out. The moth kept coming from the furniture. I thought maybe I missed a crack or something so bought another set of those and sprayed again all of the wooden furniture…thoroughly. I spent a total of over 150 dollars on this stuff and 3 days of my time. Moth is happily thriving in the furniture as before which makes me think that this stuff is doing absolutely nothing to the eggs and larvae. And probably nothing to adult moths. So do not buy to deal with moth infestations. It is not effective.

I had a pretty severe case of clothes moths, which will also eat wool rugs and upholstery! They ruined many of my clothes and a chair and a thick wool rug before I realized what was happening. I tried foggers but they didnt take out the eggs and so they just kept returning. Moth traps worked well, catching dozens and dozens. But still not enough to break the cycle. I tried this product, spraying the rugs and the upholstery every week for about three months and i think it has done the job. The moth traps have caught no new moths in the past two weeks! I did not spray directly on clothes as it says not to. The spray does throw spittle , it could be more clear in its spray, but seems bit to have damaged anything. It’s the only thing that has actually worked to completion against the clothes/wool moths, and even though it is not cheap, I recommend it!
