2475. To get rid of Moths. i. Procure shavings of cedar wood, and enclose in muslin bags, which can be distributed freely among the clothes. ii. Procure shavings of camphor wood, and enclose in bags. iii. Sprinkle pimento (allspice) berries among the clothes. iv. Sprinkle the clothes with the seeds of the musk plant. v. To destroy the eggs--when deposited in woollen cloths, &c., use a solution of acetate of potash in spirits of rosemary, fifteen grains to the pint. 2476. Bugs. Spirits of naphtha rubbed with a small painter's brush into every part of a bedstead is a certain way of getting rid of bugs. The mattress and binding of the bed should be examined, and the same process attended to, as they generally harbour more in these parts than in the bedstead. Three pennyworth of naphtha is sufficient for one bed. 2477. Bug Poison. Proof spirit, one pint; camphor, two ounces; oil of turpentine, four ounces: corrosive sublimate, one ounce, mix. A correspondent says, "I have been for a long time troubled with bugs, and never could get rid of them by any clean and expeditious method, until a friend told me to suspend a small bag of camphor to the bed, just in the centre, overhead. I did so, and the enemy was most effectually repulsed, and has not made his appearance since--not even for a reconnaissance!" This is a simple method of getting rid of these pests, and is worth a trial to see if it be effectual in other cases.
