You should drywall, it provides fire protection. You should consider how you will be nailing the cedar before closing in the wall.

Question by Steeplechaser: Building a cedar closet. do I use decking or other?
do you line the walls with cedar decking, paneling, or some other type of cedar? is there a special type of cedar to use?

Question by irisheyes: Cedar lined closets. Can i get away with….?
lining my closets with the thin veneer rolls of cedar that are sold to line dresser drawers?

I live in a place where the moth & their eggs are rampant. I don’t have the $ $ to actually have my three closets lined with cut cedar and i want to use the veneer if it will work. If it won’t i don’t want to waste the money.

Any other ideas about how to keep the moth eggs & larvae off my fabrics? I’ve lost vintage berets and silk items.

Thanks for helping.

I too have struggled with moths and their damage over the years. First off, moths almost always lay eggs where some soil exists on a wool or silk item. So make sure everything is as clean as possible all the time. Well, everything wool or silk.

The cedar helps and is a repellent, but even with solid cedar walls, you have to sand it lightly every so often so it will release it’s fragrance. So if the veneer is too think to sand at all, it might not do much good esp if you already have eggs on the items.

You can still buy the hanging strips called No Pest Strips at large groceries and hardware stores, also online. About 5 bucks a pop. Buy them and hang in your closets, they do not smell like mothballs, or much of anything for that matter so that is good. Just do not hang them in your bedroom, kitchen etc…just closets.

There is a very good smelling moth killer and egg killer that used to be sold at expensive department stores in an orange and black can…it is prob still around. You can spray it directly on clothes lightly..

.but I have found you a great article, see link below.

If it were me i would put in a sub floor. I all so would put in spacers of about a inch on any wall that the closet will be next to i would make a box out of 5/8 osb and line the in side with cedar closet kit you can buy at almost any big box store depending on the size of closet you are wanting it may take 2 or 3 of the kits I did one in my home and it is 12″ long 6′ deep and 10 ‘ high and i really do enjoy it.
