Hi all, I am having what about every 2-3 years comes, ie a moth infestation of cabinets, wardrobes,
.This is a problem that we had even before I was born,and that everyone who lives in this neighborhood have, we live near bushes and trees, and after awhile moths finds their way and decide to make of our wardrobes their home, thus resulting in nasty larvaes causing holes in our clothes....
During the years we have tried everything , but we found out that the only thing that works with us is the old and deat naphtalene.....
Product, that now unfortunately is banned for sale in this silly country.....well, not country...Union, European Union, that hope italy will soon abandon.
You can still find camphor tablets but not the naphtalene balls, while camphor keeps them away and works for awhile we found out that they soon come back, naphatene indeed kills them alll and we can stay without them for some years....
Well, I need help....
I have finished my supply that I usually buy every time I go to USA, I bought a packet of moth balls from UK some months ago, that claimed being 99,5 pure naphtalene, but they were a swindle as they were the kind that is "cut" with a chalky stuff that simply will not evaporate, a filler.....when naphtalene in them is evaporated they will crumble and will result in a chalky powder sticking to everything you have stored with them...and they just are not strong like the real "pure" naphtalene balls.
I could find the same things in our local chinese boutique, that for some reasons they keeep selling indisturbed, but it ain't the real thing, they're the same of the british ones I bought...
Years ago I have ordered some Enoz moth balls from a lady in Texas, but I could see that now she raised the prices so much and really cannot pay that much....ebay is the only source through I can purchase them...
I looked to have it purchased by the case at dollar tree through the "my american shopper" service, the one I use to purchase from the USA, but it will not work since the sale of moth balls is forbiden to California, where this service is based, State, that apparently prohibit the sale of naphtalene just like here...
So....I would ask if there is someone so kind to ship me 2 or 3 boxes of the stuff, of which I would pay of course purchase, shipping and bother through paypal....
Just do not want to pay that much they ask on ebay for a thing you find in a dollar store...,and that could ship in a small parcel post box....Or envelope....
I hope someone could help me....or give alternative products to try.....but I tried everything, and nothing seems to work just like the old and dear naphtalene does...
Thanks....
