Moth balls

Recommended Posts

That is from a moth that my late mother would have described as having a bad case of "the runs". 😂

To me mothballs are the smell of safety. When I open up a storage container of materials the beautiful smell fills the room. I usually add fresh every couple of years. Cheep insurance.

I've heard from Old Folks that back in the Model T days, they would put mothballs in the gas tank to pep it up.

I have used aromatic cedar panaling planks for the last 30 years. Basically a 1/4” t&g board designed to line a closet. I cut to size for the bottom of my boxes. I have had only 2 problems in that time. First was a roadkill woodchuck I tanned and the 2nd was a moose mane I had for 40 yers plus.

moth balls in shoeboxes with locking lids on bench, moth balls in hard suitcases for bulk storage. only had one infestation years ago with a bargain used neck, I find used suitcases and boxes at tag sales cheap but clean them first.
