    So some little clothes eating bugs have invaded my closet and munched some holes in my sportcoat and suit jacket. Right when I'm about to be interviewing again. Great.

    How do I get rid of these bugs?

    I see some bugs in my closet and I get mad.
    I know of an exterminator, I think his name is Tad.
    So I call him and say, “Hey, I got bugs in my closet.”
    And he says, “We need to get them bugs out yo closet.”
    I told him that these bugs have eaten my pants!
    He said, “These bugs don’t sound like ants.”
    So I ask him about how much will this cost?
    “About 150…but if you hesitate all your clothes will be lost!”
    So I’m just sitting there thinking about these damn bugs.
    Man, this is some crazy **** here, I’d rather just buy some drugs.
    But I remember that I need to interview so I can get paid.
    I hang up. Walk to the kitchen. I think I’ll just use some raid!

    Pretty much. You set off a bug bomb in there, it'll kill everything in it that is living that shouldn't be. The only thing is that you'll have to wash all your clothes after you set off the bomb. Now which pest control bomb is the Akina of bombs...I do not know. For me, that would be step number 1.

    Probably silverfish. You can Google ways to get rid of them. Also, it's possible to get some fabrics rewoven if the damage isn't too bad. Check with tailoring shops for referrals if you're interested.

    Cedar can help with most bugs. I am putting some shelves into my closet and am using Cedar. It smells nice and you can lightly sand it, wipe it and the smell will refresh.

    There are sachets you can use also with cedar chips Here is a link to natural bug or pest control.

    Convince them they're gay, and they might come out on their own.

    Or try the cedar.

    Silverfish? I always thought those just wandered around the bathroom. I googled them am that could definitely be what I shook out of the jacket.

    I'll have to look into getting the suit jacket fixed. The blazer/sportcoat/whatever is ******.

    The cedar planks is an excellent idea.

    Yes, cedar is a natural bug repellant. You can buy round cedar balls to put in the dresser drawers, and strips to hang in the closet, or go all out and line the closet with cedar wood paneling. This is why there were cedar chests, to hold quilts and linens. There are also moth balls, but everything will smell like moth balls for 15 years.
