I just got a new chest of drawers. My wife plans to put her sweaters in them. We've had problems with moths in the closet, so we used little mothball bags in the closet. I just found out that cedar wood is a natural moth repellant. I found some cedar wood balls in the hardware store. How do I use it? One ball per drawer? How long does it last? Do I need to replace them or "recharge" them after a few years? Thanks for the help.

Take a stocking that has a runner in it or a handkerchief and tie 2 or 3 balls in the center, this will help the odor to distribute more evenly and shouldn't leave any one thing smelling like Christmas. As for replacing them, you will be able to tell. If it gets where you can't smell them replace them. Another use for moth balls is to put them in your flower beds or any uncovered sand area and cats wont use your yard as a litter box or lay on your plants for a lazy nap. Throw them in your attic and squirrels will stay out.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/9Fscw
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

Just put two or three per drawer and the drawer will be moth proof for the rest of your lifetime and perhaps your children's too. I have never heard of them "wearing out".
