Lavender and "fresh" rosemary and mint leaves, can be found in some grocery stores in the fresh herb section. Cedar blocks too. Home Goods is where I have picked them up reasonably. If closets are damp, get a dehumidifier.

Blocks of cedar hung in the closet in a mesh bag or cut panty hose.
Cedar wardrobes were used to store woolen clothes. I have one and have it in my storage building for winter wear.
Reconsider Mothballs and Cedar Balls – Both mothballs and cedar balls can repel or even kill moths. Each has its own problems though. For mothballs to work effectively, they must be sealed in a container with the infested fabrics. This tends to make the fabrics take on the mothball smell. Cedar balls, on the other hand, need to be “refreshed” frequently, and that means you have to scratch them up with sand paper. Doing so reactivates their scent.
I have the same problem. I read moths come in from open doors and windows so be careful. They are a bugger to get out once in the house. My husband bought the eliminator Pantry Moth trap at Walmart. It's very good, safe effective and non-toxic. The trap lures male moths by scent. We also try to kill the moths. This is the 2nd year and the moths have decreased dramatically. The side of the box said the traps are safe in food-handling and food storage areas. If you don't use something, the moths are in your house and will multiply and come back every year. Good Luck!
The traps are the best money I have ever spent! If you see the moths on the ceiling, I have stuffed a rag into the end of a gift wrap cardboard tube and smacked them against the ceiling. The rag can also remove the dusty smear they can leave behind.
try those little packets that you find in everything you purchas knowadays, those little white almost like a teabag. The keep out moisture and stop things laying eggs
Don't keep clothes in dark places or use clear plastic covers over each item.....But if you have them already, you can only use a moth spray for fast action, I think.........
It sounds like they are breeding somewhere and going through the life cycles. I would try the traps in the rooms or areas you see them the most.
