Well, I keep my closet door closed, plus have a towel folded

precicisely to keep the air *from* circulating!

Why? So the moth-ball gas can be at a high enough
concentration to kill off or keep away those
moths, which otherwise eat ugly large holes in suits, etc.

So, it's a catch-22, I guess.

The mothballs ought to kill the mildew, too.
