Moths and Carpet Beetle
Dear Aunt Daisy, Having read in the local papers about the trouble people are experiencing with the carpet beetle. I wondered if the remedy I know for moths would be any help. During the war, my furniture and bedding had to be stored, and the room in which it was stored, made it impossible for me to go through the things at any time. A friend advised me to buy several pounds of Epsom salts. This was put in the cases and into the chesterfield suite and upholstered chairs. None of my bedding, linen or furniture was damaged in any way by pests! Now I always put Epsom salts in my linen cupboards and in the bottom of wardrobes and drawers, and have no bother at all with pests such as moths and silverfish. The weather does not affect Ensom salts-it alwavs remains drv.
