Interesting thread and methods. I happened upon an interesting one recently when purchasing some materials from old stock. Cloves, yep small bits of cloves, were put inside the baggies and some of this stuff was really old stock but is just like new. I originally thought that smell might be a problem but I've caught fish with flies tied from it.
Gloves and cedar have worked for me for years. I will not use Hot Shot after writing to the manufacturer. I was going to hang one or two in my garage which tends to gets spiders and hornets during the warmer months. They asked what I stored in the garage and I told them my car and BBQ, not much more room than that to fit anything else. They warned me not to place anything that comes in contact with food in the same room as Hot Shot. They could not guarantee that even after heating up the BBQ that the chemicals will burn off. Hot Shot clings and remains for years.
