Cedar wood is nature’s very own insect repellent and has been used for centuries to repel cockroach’s moths, fish moths, fleas and mildew. Unlike the harsh, poisonous smell of moth balls or insecticides, cedar wood is non-toxic, and smells absolutely divine. Squirrel these pieces of pure cedar wood amongst your clothes, books or linen for peace of mind that they’re protected by the natural aromatic oils in the wood. And you don’t need to replace them as often as moth balls either, if they begin to lose their smell, simply sandpaper them gently to release another layer of sweet, fresh smelling wood.
