ahimsa and insects

[Guest guest]

Suppose moths have infested your cupboards and are eating your clothes. How do

you deal with this with yogic grace?

[Guest guest]

Any problem with cedar bocks or chips? They will naturally keep them away, but

not kill them, as far as I know.

[Guest guest]

Banda, the cedar chips and blocks have not kept them away, in my experience.

And those smelly chemical things that you buy in the hardware store are harsh,

and would pollute everything in the house.

I have this exact problem!! My Lama told me to

put up fly strips. It is up to the moth whether

he/she flies into it. It's the moth's karma, not

yours.<br><br>Sound hokey? I did it. better than bombs or

poison.<br><br>i hope my clothes haven't suffered too much

[Guest guest]

I might have my insects confused but putting your

clothes in a garbage bag and freezing them would kill any

eggs left by the moths. I thought it was moth larvae

that eat the clothes and not the moths themselves. I

could be very wrong so check with an exterminator

before filling your deep freeze and wandering around

naked. <br><br>Good luck!<br><br>Brad.
