Then the world would be in trouble. We would have to walk more. You could run a petrol car on alcohol but it wouldn't run very well. I recall a story of someone using naptha from mothballs to power a car during the second world war when petrol was rationed but I don't know the details of how they did it.
because of the heat combustion and also Naptha evaporates more easily/
the mothballs will fly away
I have never known mothballs to cause nose bleeds.
While it is not proven that mothballs will keep wasps away, there is evidence that they do. Mothballs also seem to keep small rodents away too.
