About Your Home
Most of us think that summer
is the moth season. This is not
true, however, for moths pan breed
at temperatures as low as fifty
five degrees. For this reason, it
is important to keep moth crystals
that kill by gas asphyxiation in
closets, chests and garment bags
the year around.
Household items such as mat
tresses. wall-t0-wi|ll carpeting and
upholstered furniture should be
sprayed several times a year with
a reliable insect spray.
Moths and silverfish, the rayon
and paper-eatjhg insect, are not
killed by unpleasant odors. They
are killed by direct contact with
sprays and by gas as .crystals evap
orate in airtight places.
Silverfiah breed around bath
room tile and cement. Ordinary
bathroom cleansers ^ave no effect
on them, so a spray should be used
here, too.
The proper amount of nuggets
or crystals is about one pound for
every one hundred cubic feet of
space. The gases do not rise, so
the crystals should be placed at
the top of the garment bag and
folded in with each fold of blan
kets or draperies.
Most modern vacuum cleaners
have spray attachments which can
be filled with crystals and do an
excellent spraying job.
The best way to go about storing
clothes and household articles is to
first make sure the garments are
perfectly clean. Then ? sun them
for a couple of hours, if possible.
Next ? spray tbem and place in
airtight storage bags with a gen
erous supply of crystals or nug
gets at both the top and bottom
of the bag.
