• It can also be used in closets as a moth repellant. Take 4-5 cinammon sticks and break them up. Combine the broken up sticks with a half cup of black peppercorns and a half cup of whole cloves. Place this mix into a small bag that can be aerated (such as a tea bag or chiffon fabric bag), tie up, and hang in your closet.
