Household Tip #2: Nice smelling moth-balls

This has very little to do with food of course, but still has a spot reserved on my refrigerator as "specific things to buy for the house that I will accept no compromises and no other brand/type of".

One of this is the lavender (lilac colored) moth-balls made by Farcent Corporation, selling for $6.50 per large, never-ending pack of 360g at Sheng Siong supermarket. The big pack holds several tiny sized little paper sachets containing the nicest smelling moth-balls (no scent of napthalene!) I have ever encountered, all of them nicely wrapped in porous white paper with tiny purple printed flowers. They smell decent enough for your delicates drawer and can be thrown into any drawer in the house to ward away house pests like lizards, cockroaches, moths, mozzies and other nasties. I love them!

This product hailing from Taiwan touts a high-quality perfume that creates a comfortable atmosphere and, most importantly, doesn't leave a nasty scent that gives the indication that you've left your stuff in that drawer for way too long (which you probably have). After 3 months, boxes and drawers (and the objects in them) remain fresh, clear and dust-free.

Perhaps it comes with age, but these days, I accept no compromises on the little things. I'm definitely getting these anti-insect balls for as long as I can find them.
