[VFB] re: another option..was cedar chips

[Joyce's crafts and flies]

Two items I have thus far found quite nice. muslin bags of vanilla or cherry flavored tobacco (someone turned me on to this from a fishing list) and those hanging bars of insect repellent that you can find right now in the repellent department. The neat thing about them is that they don't smell bad as moth balls do, but contain a synthetic insect killer so still do kill any upstart bugs. Both of the above also make your tying room smell nice, but not as nice as do cedar chips. Cedar chips do loose their aromatic output, so must either be sanded from time to time (the hanging type ones or drawer liner ones) or replaced. Joyce
