Moth proofing?

I've recently noticed that two of my sweaters had a bunch of small holes in them in random places. They were both pretty cheap so no big deal. Anyway, I've noticed moths flying around in the past and am thinking that could be one of the causes.

Anyone have any suggestions for keeping clothes moth safe?

Maybe I should let some spiders in :p

Yes, they do. Cedar is not quite as effective, but I prefer it. Use lots of cedar blocks and hangers, shake your wool clothes down monthly, vacuum frequently, and murder any ******* moth you see as your promise to god.
