Moths. I hate them.I recently moved and am temporarily renting an apartment from my parents. My dad suggested strongly that I utlize my time here wisely and take the opportunity to clean out some more of the things that I've had stored in their basement for decades. Most of my belongings were in totes except for a bag or two of old blankets and some stuffed animals that I've kept since childhood that I didn't have the heart to part with.This was the prelude to the coming insect apocalypse.I brought the items upstairs and into my apartment so that I could decide what to trash, donate, or keep, until I'm old and senile and no longer remember why I've kept these things in the first place. I opened the bag of stuffed animals and out flew a few moths. Ick! So I quickly swatted the hell out of them and proceeded to sort through the bag, opting out of keeping most of the things in it. There were, however, a few stuffed animals - like my collection of Scooby-Doo paraphernalia that is on the borderline of becoming featured on an episode of Hoarders, and a thing or two given to me by a high school boyfriend that I wanted to hold onto for the sake of memory to feel lucky that I didn't end up with that loser. My cats like stuffed animals so I would hold onto these things for them. That's what I told myself. Everything that I decided to keep was promptly washed. In my mind, that was the end of it.Skip ahead to a week or so later, and as I was cleaning I noticed a few moths flying around. I thought perhaps it was from leaving the screen door open. However, when I moved my cats' cubby and beds, and the pile of cute little stuffed animals that they had piled on top, out flew a squadron of moths on a mission to destroy everything in sight. I ran into the kitchen grabbing a can of Raid and my vacuum cleaner and proceeded to execute defensive countermeasures, furiously spraying the air and flailing the vacuum hose around like a madwoman while shouting expletives that included blasphemy and the frequent misuse of the Lord's name in conjunction with the "F-bomb."As kamikaze moths made nose-dives into my head, and furniture, I began kicking items around so as to spray and vacuum, in my best attempt to hold the line against these winged invaders, which only revealed battalions of moths who were waiting to launch their assault. After about an hour of combat, I only saw a handful left that seemed to be in retreat, so I was fairly confident that I had won the battle. I rushed out to the supermarket and purchased a ton of mothballs. I bought so many of them that I nearly cleaned out the inventory and I'm sure that there were blue-haired grandmothers somewhere in the neighbourhood cursing my very existence.After stashing mothballs in every place that I could think of where these demonic creatures may try to hide, I again threw all of the stuffed animals, and also the cats' blankets and toys, into the wash. Once more I was confident that I had solved the problem.What ensued was a plague of biblical proportions.Mothballs are toxic to cats. As a crazy cat lady, I should have remembered this. In my desperate attempt to rid my home of this moth invasion, it slipped my mind. Skip ahead a few days, and my cats are puking all over the place. When I realized it was from the mothballs, I went on the hunt for every moth ball in the apartment and quickly trashed them, then cleaned again. I didn't see any moths so I incorrectly assumed, again, that the problem was solved. Skip ahead again to a few more days, and I started noticing a few moths flying around. Swat, spray, vacuum. Repeat.These freaking things would not die.They would not leave. They just kept being fruitful and multiplying, trying their best to takeover my home and the only place of solitude that I have from the cruel world. I spent the majority of my free time hopped up on espresso, hunting moths again with a can of Raid and my vacuum cleaner because I couldn't use moth balls. My cats began to revolt from the fumes and again began puking everywhere. So then I had landmines of cat puke all over the apartment while an army of moths flew through the air every time that I moved a cat tree or bed, and a swarm of them made their headquarters in my closet. I lost several pair of socks and a few sweatshirts. May they rest in peace.There were also mass casualties of catnip mice and some fuzzy pompoms. My cats haven't quite forgiven me yet.During the height of the plague, my cats also were so kind as to try to assist me, by leaping off of the furniture and through the air all hours of the day and night, to apprehend these things mid-flight. This resulted in several broken picture frames and once or twice, my dinner on the kitchen floor.They also began peeing everywhere that there was a nest. Well, at least I got a better idea of where the moths were hiding.By the end of the week, my place smelled like a toilet, there was cat puke in piles on the floor, and there were so many moths flying through the air, that I was sure that one of my cats was going to don a robe and staff and lift his paws to the swarm, meowing "let my people go!"Finally, after complaining to my mother about this month-long invasion of peace destroying winged demons, she says, "why not use cedar? That's what I use in my closet. It's safe for cats, too."Well duuuuuuuuuuhhhhh. How did I not remember this? Thanks Mom, for telling me this thirty days later after I spent almost an entire paycheck on moth balls and Angry Orange.So I went to the store and bought a crapton of cedar products. They were meh. I bought a different brand. It helped but these clothes-eating demons were still hanging around. So I searched Amazon and purchased cedar balls. That brand worked okay but lost its scent quickly. So I have to frequently use sandpaper to release the scent again. Those seemed to work in drawers but not in the closet or out in the open, near my cats' beds.In one last desperate attempt to rid my apartment of moths before giving up on life entirely and start Christmas shopping for gifts for the legion of moths in my apartment because they live here now,I decided to try this brand. I'm so glad that I did. My cats are glad too because now they don't have to plan their escape while I sleep because they're ill from the fumes of Raid and cleaning products.The blocks are not only a decent size, but have a very strong cedar scent. The scent remains and doesn't dissipate quickly like other brands. More importantly- they actually work. After a week I began to notice moths - that were dead. I started finding moth corpses everywhere that I had put a cedar block. I'm half Italian, so it pleased me greatly to know that these evil insects with an appetite for my clothes, blankets, and the destruction of my peace of mind, were turning up dead all over my apartment. Yeah, that's right, you piece of crap Lepidoptera, you've eaten a hole in your last sock, pal. The entire family of moths is getting whacked by the scent of some cedar blocks. My cats and I are grateful.The Angry Orange seems to help as well (for washing items that one wants to keep that have had moth larvae attached - but one must first vacuum the heck out of the item and remove the pods prior to washing) but it's these Cedar Space cedar blocks that saved the day - and my clothing!I like these so much that I purchased another package this week, as well as a box of the ones with hooks that hang in the closet. Even though I now have PTSD from the moth war of 2023 which will probably require years of therapy, for me and my cats, and my apartment smells like a forest, I would honestly say that these cedar products are a worthwhile investment.Almost all of the moths are dead and I haven't seen many others which means no new surprises await me in the coming weeks. These blocks are working great.I'll definitely purchase more of these products in the near future. I give Cedar Space blocks 5 of 5 stars.

After buying "similar looking" Cedar blocks for half the price [that I am returning], I now realize that these Cedar blocks are of the true quality I was originally looking for. Namely the Cedar smell I get from these blocks is the Read Deal, where as the other less expensive Cedar blocks I bought had almost no Cedar smell to them at all. These are very aromatic, and I was looking for this all along. If I need more, I will by more of these specific quality blocks.

I like the shape. You can slip them in between sweaters or just leave them out in the closet. They’re not super aromatic, but I’m going to sand them a bit S the seller suggests.

Cedar slabs are cut in thin but sturdy pieces, making this an economical form factor for adding to drawers, closets or storage bins. Good scent too.

If you are going to be using these to make your home smell like fresh Cedar, you will be disappointed. I have a very strong sense of smell, and I have to put these cedar blocks right up to my nose to smell them. They might work for putting a drawer or small closet, but not to freshen your home.

Awsome fragrance. Not overwhelming but will keep my winter stuff moth and bug free.

Oh, they smell like cedar for hot moment. Other than that my closets don’t smell like cedar and put in cabinets or anywhere else that I got the cedar blocks to keep away bugs and etc. so all I’ve done is wasted money.( I got a message from the seller saying that I have to polish the cedar blocks in order to bring out the aroma better on the block It never said it when I ordered this and read about the information of the product so the seller says I have to polish it, but didn’t be very descriptive How to Polish it with sandpaper or oil of cedar so then you have to spend more money more in order for these blocks to really smell like cedar. I could’ve bought cedar oil and just add something like a piece of wood or something else stuck it in my cabinets to have them smell like cedar in order to keep ants and bugs & spiders out out of the RV, so basically this is a waste of money. Don’t buy them because it’s cheaper to buy cedar oil add moth balls or something else because now I have to spend more money for these cedar blocks work.The seller should sell it as a kid and gave Cedar oil or sandpaper to revive the cedar blocks. Absolutely ridiculous. For the amount of money I spent on the cedar blocks

Makes closets smell good
