Coat hangers made of wood have a very specific function
Wooden coat hangers are not only more environmentally friendly than plastic hangers, but they may also help protect your favorite garments from bug invasions.
Bugs are known to avoid cedarwood, which also has a pleasant natural aroma. The natural oils in red cedar help kill moth larvae but not adult moths or carpet beetles, according to Martha Stewart. She observes that when the aroma disappears, the impact decreases as well. It’s possible that if you only have a few months, they’ll die off before they can spawn a swarm of offspring that eat your clothes, but this isn’t certain.
