Moth balls

[Gene L 0]

A couple of days ago, I found a moth in my fly tying room.  The bad news is that it looked like a small moth, like one descended from a large moth in my feathers.   So I doubled the mothballs and I'm hoping for the best.  Moths, I hate the little bastards.

That's a problem we all have to deal with... Imagine a wholesaler with a barrel of feathers to process (with all that entails...), package and sell -only that container has "bugs"....  and so it goes

I keep all of my materials sealed up in the zip lock bags they came in.  Feathers and furs that are given to me by hunters are stored in sealed bags with Borax powder. Thankfully after 15 years of tying I haven't had a problem with moths or any other bugs.

and i put individual cedar scented packets in all of my plastic shoe boxes of feathers
