Do moth balls dissolve in water?
Mothballs work as an insecticide by giving off toxic gases that kill moths, moth larvae and moth eggs in woolen fabrics sealed in tight containers with mothballs. The traditional mothballs generally contain naphthalene and/or paradichlorobenzene. From a solid mothball, it sublimates, forming gas. The particles (see Kinetic Particle Theory) in the mothball gas will then diffuse in the cupboard. By diffusing, the whole cupboard will then have the noxious vapours, which interfere with the respiratory system of the moth or pest, killing it. If there is no present moth/pest in the cupboard, then the noxious vapours will prevent them from coming.
