Noticed a few little holes in a merino jumper I got last Christmas, luckily it wasn't my icebreaker. Do mothballs smell like old biddies? Can't say I have ever smelled them. I have heard cedar keeps the little swines at bay, but I have also heard it doesn't work at all.

Imagine the smell of your local Sue Ryder shop. Then remove the smell of old lady wee. A bit like that.

Yes they smell like naptha. Very distinctive and quite pungent.
Use it as an excuse to buy by a nice heather mixture twin piece.

a bit sweaty, but that may depend on how hot the bulb that they've been buzzin' is!
