To the you the truth it is an old fashioned hint that actually works. My girlfriend's ex mother in law told her to put the whole moth balls on the floor now this was in her basement where she did the wash. I to did it in the basement. Just threw a box of them around (just be careful it you step on them hurts your feet). The bugs hate the smell. Worked real good too.

Try a product that contains boric acid. Borax--yes, the stuff you find with laundry detergent in the grocery store--is one that's easy to find and safer to have around the house than bug spray. Harris Famous Roach Tablets are also good, and they're less messy to use than loose boric acid powder.
