I think the kind that you are getting now has to do with the season. IMHO

packets af cedar blocks and bags of chips, etc. are at Bed Bath & Beyond.

I personally make sachets from fabric scraps and gerbil bedding from Walmart. It is cedar shavings and one cheap bag makes scads of sachets. Sometimes I make them pretty for friends and sometimes I just use muslin scraps for storage closets.
For a really quick and easy-peasy moth deterrent, I buy the cedar bedding, put in knee high nylons, a clump in the toe, tie, a clump in the thigh, tie, and you can hang them over a closet rod or lay them inside a shelf or drawer. No sewing required and you just shake them to refresh. If you want to pretty them up, tie a ribbon bow on each end knot.
