I ordered snake repellent from Amazon. They put it in the same box as food, coffee, pans, and seeds. Everything stunk to high heaven and still does. the package itself made my laundry smell so much that it is in my clothes.They refunded me for everything but the snake repellent. The smell is moth balls and the ingredient is the moth ball chemical. The girl told me to throw everything away including the stainless pans. The coffee was in a package as was soymilk but the packages really smell. Right now I am thinking of putting all of it on my garden but I don't know. Like some plants like coffee and soymilk, too. I don't even know if it should go on plants with the moth all vapors. It seems such a waste to throw 2 stainless steel cookie sheets away too but the more I write this, the more I think I will toss the whole box which is sitting in my laundry room and making everything smell even though the snake repellent is in the garage.

Sadly, I would probably toss them or scrub them really well and donate it to Goodwill or something, if they're still worth using after you scrub them. IP: Logged |

Thanks V!Would you even put the coffee beans on the aloe plants? There are seeds that I guess are Ok but I will throw away everything except maybe the soy milk and coffee beans for my garden. What do you think of that? ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

I suppose it depends on the specific ingredients of the snake repellent, honestly... If there aren't any chemicals in it and the ingredients are purely natural, I would actually just scrub the cooking sheets and use the other stuff for the garden (now that I think about it).Does the repellent contain chemicals? <ETA> I guess you already answered that, but I was thinking of camphor rather than the chemical stuff. No, I would personally not use that in my garden if I wanted to eat anything from it, due to the chemicals. IP: Logged |

The active ingredient is moth balls which is napathelene or something but it's vapors are poisonous, I think. I don't know. I am confused about it.------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

Well that's a hard call, really. I read this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene#Health_effects And I suppose that I personally wouldn't risk it, even though the coffee and soy milk were in containers. I mean, you could... As frugal as I prefer to be though, I would probably just toss it, which does seem like a waste. But I don't think I would want to risk the idea of the food somehow being contaminated, even if it was packaged. But do what you think is best, of course. It sounds as though Napthalene is the least harmful of the chemicals that can be used for mothballs, but it still doesn't sound great... Sorry you have to deal with smelly moth balls in your laundry room!
