Folk art assemblage

This is in answer to Anne Lane's inquiry about a "train" sculpture
which she is planning to move indoors.  I have used boric acid for a
variety of problems dealing with insects over the years
(cockroaches, silverfish, termites, etc.) with continued good
results.  It is the least expensive, most practical and effective of
all alternatives.  It has, in recent years, become a major method
for controlling termites by commercial companies as more toxic
methods are eliminated by legislation.
