Juniper may attract specific types of moths that feed on juniper berries or live in juniper bushes. Therefore it is not the best all-purpose method for repelling moths from closets, homes, etc. However when combined with the more common natural moth repellents such as cedar chips or lavender, it may add to the efficacy of your overall approach by repelling certain moth types while the other substances will repel others. 1 part juniper to 3 parts lavender and 3 parts cedar chips tied off in sections of old nylon as satchets for drawers and closets might be a very effective approach.
Optionally, You could even throw in a tiny amount of moth balls which would decrease the need for large amounts of moth balls and make the mixture far more effective without exposing humans or pets to noxious levels of napthalene (the chemical in moth balls. You could add 1 moth ball per satchet. This would be for serious problems arising from your local environment being a forest or population center for breeding moths, a home with frequently open windows or doors, etc.
Many people find complete efficacy in the simple use of cedar or lavender alone, and never find holes in their clothes.

What does a juniper bush look like?
Juniper berries are 'berries' from any of several species of Juniper. Junipers are conifers.The berries are not really berries at all - they actually seed cones. They have unusually fleshy scales which are merged so that they look like a berry.They are usually edible but can be very bitter on some species, a few species are toxic but not sufficiently so to pose a great risk to health in most people.Juniper berries are the little blue fruits produced by species of Juniperus. To my knowledge, they are not edible. I guess I'm wrong about them not being edible!
