Toss this stuff in a satchel bag, and place in closets.. Keeps the
creepers out. (on all levels) Turns out, I got one of the best Indian
Markets in the region about 3-4 miles from here. Heading over tomorrow
to get some edible camphor. The last stuff I tried to get was
synthetic, and dowsed as such, and I confronted the seller who admitted
it was toxic synthetic camphor from China.
Seems like so much of the "Real thing" gets hijacked around here,
probably on purpose too! How many people tried fake prill beads, thought
they didn't work, and moved on to something else?

Indian groceries also sell a Camphor as a burning incense. It is 100%
Camphor but of a lower quality that is not edible. But it may be
cheaper and good enough for many uses. I found the edible Camphor in
the incense area of the grocery. Perhaps they can bring it into the
country only for religous incense purposes although they do cook with it.

That's $1 for 5 containers of Monkey. But of course, it is cheaper to
try and make it. It just depends on time. I'd rather go grab some at
the Asian market and toss it in my pocket.
But thanks for Edible Camphor information. I've been trying to source
camphor I could put in closets and so forth that isn't synthetic, or
from China. This stuff is incredible for so many things, and does
keep certain unseen things from coagulating in stagnant areas like
closets. I'll have to try to find an indian market, or find some online.

$1 for 2 gm of Monkey Holding Peach (plus shipping if you can't find
a friendly source locally) vs roughly $5 for 200 gm homemade. And you
can adjust the amount of Camphor as desired.
