Yes, mothballs keep pigeons (Columbidae clade) away. They do not provide healthy, safe interactions for many birds because of their sheltering two environmentally problematic chemicals: dichlorobenzene and naphthalene.

∙ 13y agoNo. Mothballs are not effective enough outside to keep possums away. If you wished to remove possums from your ceiling, a few mothballs placed around the roof space would not convince them to leave.

Mothballs ineffective Animal's arent "repeled" from mothballs, but they may avoid (step over) them, if they were just placed there. Naphthalene and Paradichlorobenzene sublimate quickly, so for extended periods of time in the outdoors the chemical's would be so dilute. I even doubt they would be so much as unpleasent to animal's unless you fertilze your lawn with them. My answer is pretty much no. PLUS, if you place them near your house (say, under your deck or in an attached shed), chances are excellent YOU will be repelled by the odor, and will be constantly compelled to think about long days spent in your elderly aunt's attic (which, unless she stashed the cash she bequeathed to you up there, is/was not a pleasant experience). Now, we need an answer on "how long do mothballs take to decay?"Answer 2:Mothballs DO repel some animals. When used as intended they repel or kill insects such as moths and silverfish. There is some evidence they repel snakes and keep away mice or other pests.
