If so, find a cabinet maker in your area and ask for some scrap cedar leftover interior closet sheathing. Sand if necessary to get the aroma. Next tuning appointment, smell for aroma and sand/replace until you do. Size,number and,placement of peices vary. It seems to get rid of the moths,and smells like Christmas year round. If you see Moth damage it may be to late except on lesser home owned pianos. Mice/Rats are another problem, they/their droppings may or not may be long since dead. Take care. A just weaned 'Possum will create total devistation.  DAMHIK...(Interior pun intended) :-</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hubert Liverman </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tuner/tech</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Opelika,Al</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=vinsam@sympatico.ca href="mailto:vinsam@sympatico.ca">Vinny Samarco</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, March 18, 2005 12:26 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: That's mice</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi EVeryone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV>Have any of you tried moth balls inside a piano?  Someone said they worked well.</DIV> <DIV>Vinny</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=Alpha88x@aol.com href="mailto:Alpha88x@aol.com">Alpha88x@aol.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, March 17, 2005 10:02 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: That's mice</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Greetings, <BR><BR>        That customer?.....Inform her of the danger of <I>HER</I> contracting Haunta...that should get her stepping on her hygiene situation(at least as far as mice, I would hope)! <BR><BR>Julia,<BR>Reading,PA</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
