Blotting paper saturated with turpentine placed where moths are apt to work, will prevent their havoc. Sassafras bark scattered among woolens and furs is a preventive of moths. Saturate an old sheet with formaldehyde and hang in the closet containing moths, first stopping all possible cracks and keyhole, and leaving there for a day. If moths get into carpets, draperies and furniture, use the just given formaldehyde cure. Where moths are apt to injure carpets, boil a few camphor balls in water and sweep with a clean broom, dipping frequently in the mixture. Or scatter powdered borax plentifully about. An effective, quick way to rid carpets and furniture of moths, is to use an oil atomizer and spray them with one teaspoonful carbolic acid, mixed in one quart benzine.
