I have also heard this called a "hedge apple" and a "bodark". This
spelling
is probably wrong. They are supposed to be able to keep some bugs from
coming in your house if you put some around in a crawl space or around the
outside of the houses foundation. I don't remember if the "bugs" are
roaches, spiders, or just what, but it sounds good. I have had several
people ask me to find them some.

Lol, thats what the website said. It also said that unless you hit the bug
with a fruit and squashed it, it was useless against bugs. An old wives
tale.
