the naphthalene in mothballs is supposed to repel fabric eating moths and silverfish when clothing is stored for long periods of time (such as the summer season), apparently it is an old wives tale.
Mothballs are a pesticide product that contain either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene as active ingredients. Both of these chemicals are toxic fumigants (which means they volatilize into the air) and must be present in high concentrations to be effective. This is a problem. Concentrations high enough to be effective for pest control can be dangerous for anyone exposed to them.
Mothballs can seriously impair indoor air quality. In fact, the odor of mothballs can be detected at a few parts per billion in the air. (One part per billion is about several drops of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool.)

Why do mothball powder and margarene dissolve in kerosene but not in the water?
Because "like dissolves like" eg. polar substances dissolve polar substances. Mothball powder, margarine, and kerosene are all non-polar. Water however is polar, so the mothball powder and margarine cannot dissolve in it.
