Question by Rob: Will cedar keep bed bugs away?
My girlfriend and I will be having the bed bug exterminator come this Fri and do his trick.
it is a huge pain in the butt (our entire life is in plastic garbage bags which will be doused with bed bug poison)
We really don’t want a repeat of this, so we want to take every precaution to ensure these little buggers don’t even think of coming back here.

One of the things we are probably going to do is put cedar blocks in our closets. I am thinking that will keep them away (they never seemed to like the closets anyway)

Think this will work? Any other things that will keep them away after the exterminator comes?
FYI….
I have hardwood floors in all the closets. no carpet.

Question by harasezltoh: How do I make my closets keep the cedar scent?
I have the cedar blocks that hang in the closet but it doesn’t seem to last long. I don’t want the whole house to smell like it but i would like for it stay “cedar-smelling” in the closet.
Are there any better methods for getting the cedar smell? I’ve seen ceday balls and sprays……what have you used that you really like?

You lightly sand them with fine grit sandpaper and then soak them in cedar oil. I do this every now and again, but let them thoroughly dry before hanging them. You can buy cedar oil at pet stores near the bedding, at some discounters and I think I got this last bottle at Foster Smiths vet catalog. It comes in a spray bottle but I submerge my blocks in a shallow container on both sides and lay them out on cookie cooling racks with papertoweling underneath until I don’t feel the oil on them anymore.

Question by Mitch S: Why do i have moths in my house during the winter.All closets are cedar.And they just keep coming?
I live in michigan so it’s pretty cold between 20-40 f everyday. The house is clean and in excellent shape with a brick exterior. All hardwood floors some rugs. The moths are small about 1/4 to1/2 inch in size.The previous owner is from korea and the moths are not like any i have seen before. Could they be some exotic spieces from there? I probly kill about five a day and they just don’t stop they just keep coming.
