I think I remember Don O saying cedar can dry out the hackle. I started using mothballs after my last visit with Ron Alcott. He finally scared some sense into me. He has a collection of moth food he loves to show me every visit. Iain uses something that smells a lot better. I always like the smell of his envelopes when I get them. It's a kind of garden pesticide called Pyerethum. I haven't gotten up to our garden center yet to look for it. Don O???????
