Go To Hell, Moths!

What would YOU want to say to a clothes moth? (to keep those dang clothes moths away from my wool and my fur.)

Getting a bit craft-crazy in preparation for the long winter ahead and I was up late and just kind of started this project without planning and am going where it takes me. White aida sachets, 5" X 5" square. i'm doing a cross-stitch border around the edge and now am trying to think of cute things to put on the front of these things to put those moths in their place! so --

what are some short (5-6 words max) phrases you would want to say to a clothes moth if they were invading your closet and threatening your beautiful clothes?

"FUCK OFF, MOTHS" has already been done, as has a picture of a moth with one of those red circles with the line through it. cutesy but not soo cutesy!

Closet dwelling creeps
such voracious Tineidae
Stab, stabbity, stab

Precious apparel,
the altar of your hunger
Fuck off, asshole moths.

Om nom nom nom nom,
That was my favorite shirt!

Suck my [moth] balls.

(a little more than 5-6 words, but you can't deny how awesome anti-moth haiku would look cross-stitched on your sachets)

Thanks, moth.

Thoth.
