J & J

Before buttoning up the boat I suggest strategically placing moth balls, onion powder, basil, mint tea, and lemon rind in bilges, compartments and pigeon holes. This should prevent pest intrusion such as rat, mice, moth, flea, squirrel, bird, termites, and ants. Keep a few pet spiders but no widows or rex type.

a couple of Wolf Spiders should keep the interior bug population in check ;-)
