MOTH AWAY SACHET - This 8-herb mix has the scent of lavender and cedar. It is very effective and an excellent replacement for mothballs. * I've used Moth Away Sachet for over 20 years and, even though I have an unlimited supply, I've used the same six bags for the last five plus years!
*Mothballs are dangerous. From a recent issue of Real Simple, I offer this excerpt: On January 25 [2001], the National Toxicology Program released two years of research on naphthalene. In the study, rats were exposed to naphthalene by inhalation - the way we are - in doses comparable to those we receive at home and work. The study concluded that in rats, "naphthalene causes cancer, a finding that scientists and regulators must wrestle with to determine if, as commonly used, it presents a risk to humans as well." Besides naphthalene, mothballs are also made of camphor or paradichlorobenzene. All three are, to varying degrees, toxic to humans. Clothing that has come into contact with these chemicals should be aired out, dry-cleaned, or washed.

NOT HERE KITTY: I created this product years ago when a customer came into my herb shop, just before Christmas, and requested a 'cat repellant.' It seems her cat had a habit of batting ornaments, climbing up the Christmas tree and generally making a mess of things. I looked in my collection of old herbals. They gave me some ideas and I created Not Here Kitty, a blend of ginger, lavender and some green herbs. It worked well for the Christmas tree and I have sold thousands in the 15+ years since.
I finally got some idea of how Not Here Kitty works, when I had a rowdy young tom tearing up the house several years ago. He was especially fond of scratching in the houseplants. I put Not Here Kitty in the plants but he batted them aside! I kept replacing them and, within a day or two, he got the idea. My theory is that the cat considers the placing of Not Here Kitty Sachets about is a way you have of marking your territory. Now some cats are truly repelled right off the bat; some, like my young tom, take a day or two to get the message. Interestingly, once repelled, the cats tend to stay away from a 'marked' area. So you can move the bags to a new location if you wish.
