Boric acid and other homegrown attempts to address a pest problem in your apartment

And if anyone has hints about how to get rid of clothes-eating moths, I'd like to hear them!

Cedarwood oil.

Smells much better than napthalene

I've used boric acid, I think it worked about as well as anything else (ie you have to keep it up or they come back). I've also heard orange juice works for ants--they are lured by the sweet and then are eaten by the acid--but that seemed madness. Maybe if you put the OJ outside. Def. cedar/cedarwood oil for moths--mothballs smell so horrible and you have to dryclean all your stuff when it's been stored with mothballs for a while.
