[Rhodes22-list] Bugs be gone on boats.

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I lock up my boat with Moth Balls.  I know people hate the smell but I just
leave the hatch open when I trailer and the smell is gone by the time I get
to the water.  Moth Balls also kill mold spores... so closing up for the
winter with moth balls has the added benefit of keeping the musty out.
