Re: [Killietalk] Mothballs

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

I would look for some containing paradichlorbenzene. If you find them, 
try putting them in a small container like a film canister, with a few 
little holes in the lid. As an alternative, buy a couple of the small 
"bird protectors" at a pet store. Puncture just one or two holes on the 
back. I have found them very effective at removing flies.
