Eliminating a Moth Infestation
By Howard Towlson

Hi --  A number of years ago we got some old oriental rugs which were
infested with clothes moths.  We have been living with the moths ever
since.  We have tried pheromone traps which are somewhat effective but
very expensive.  I have been reluctant to spray anything on the felts
in the piano and in addition I have a lung problem which would restrict
extensive spraying and the type of material to be used.

Other than frequently playing the piano, moving out of the house or
burning the house down, does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,
Howard Towlson
