cedar sure doesn't repel much in Florida. :) I am afraid to look into 
the cedar chest I haven't checked in two years. 
it's a good idea to sand them down every so often, to wake up the smell. 
I think all it's doing is covering the odor of the delicious woolens and 
things. 
I wonder if freezing will kill eggs and such. many of them expect it and 
are built for it. ain't nature wonderful.
