Use a search engine online and enter the term, crawl space. That will direct you to a professional company that specializes in crawl spaces. You have 2 problems. Let's discuss the crawl space first. Water can not be stopped. It can be diverted properly so it does not end up pn the top of your crawl space. Waterproofing a crawl space is done from inside the crawl space. Trenching around the perimeter, installing 4 inch perforated drain tile. Connecting the drain tile system to a sump pit and a sump pump which will the eject the water properly to the outside thus eliminating your problem. Your yard is a total other aspect.

Do mothballs keep bees away?

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).
