You can get many ways to prevent bugs and most do not really work.
The late Al campbell wrote the above many years ago. I have tried all the methods and find only one better than the No Pest Strip. What is it?

It is a fumigation method and is the only way Australia will allow feathers into them. i am certified by the USDA to do the procedure and sign off on it.

It is dangerous and very pricey. Far easier and less expensive to use the No Pest Strips in Tuperware like boxes.

If it fits in A box you need more materials

I was thinking the same thing.

When I had a lot less stuff, I use to store it all in this Plano tool box and it worked OK to travel with. These days I travel with less stuff in a FishPond Coyote bag: http://fishpondusa.com/coyote.cfm

Now I have a room in the basement. Plano makes many plastic storage types of solutions. Wally World has plastic type cabinets with wheels for larger things and many smaller cost efficient boxes. I always thought of having a rather large roll top desk so when I was done I could just shut it up and it would look respectable. An armoire or enclosed compter desk might best a nice touch as well. This would be an very inexpensive way: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ci_sku=6051640

But this is more along the lines of what my wife might permit in the living room: http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Pati...3314766&sr=1-3

So from specific furniture to inexpensive plastic boxes, we all come up with something that works for us.

Think outside the box...pun intended...

I have been searching for a drawer with lids. Can you tell me where you got them.
Thanks

I got it a couple of years ago at Costco. As with a lot of Costco stuff, it's here today gone tomorrow. It looks very similar to this: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/c...uctId=10012555

Except i didn't pay that much and I think my drawers are bigger than 12x12.

I was thinking along the lines of the plastic storage bins like the ones you can get at Walmart as well as putting up peg boards for things that can hung. I don't have a designated place that I'm tying right now but I'm working on getting some renovations (i.e. clean up a corner of my basement/build a small table) done so that I'll have a spot. I did see a nice little spool rack at Wally World that I'm going to pick up.

After I'm done going through it all, I'll let you guys know if there are any materials I'm certain I won't be using. If so, I'll send them your way.

I recently cut up a few flea collars and put them in with my materials. Is there any negative side to doing this?

[Denny]

The only negative thoughts for dog flea collars (not familiar with those for cats) is if I remember correctly, one needs to stretch the collar to activate the chemical, before placing on a dog or cutting up to place in your material tubs.
I use the 31 qt Rubbermaid plastic tubs that are about 27" x 16" x 7".
I purchase them at Wally World.
They stack one on top of the other. Course with labels on the front of each one when searching for something it is always in the bottom one or I have forgotten to up date the label as to contents.
I find the No Pest Strips are most cost effective where the Dog flea collars are more costly.

I use "Art Bins" purchased with 50% off coupons at Joann Fabrics & the ZDO double end bags (as on Dot Man's website) for those precious feathers, etc.
http://flyreeldots.com/ these bags are great to protect feathers, etc & Jerry is a sponsor here on FAOL.
