Yes, they are repelled by the odor. However do not put them near food as they a health hazard, I would alternatively suggest you hire a professional to fumigate your home. Cockroaches can reproduce in the thousands, if you believe your home is infested, try waking up early to see if there are many present in your kitchen area.
sure it is. . mothballs are poisonous and used to kill pests like roaches.
Mothballs don't deter snakes directly. they may keep away mice and other rodents that the snake eats. If there is no food for the snakes, then the snakes wont hang around your house. I have heard that if you pour kerosene around your yard, they wont cross it because it burns or irritates their skin. Never tryed it but it's something to keep in mind.
Mothballs are legally sold for use of the purposes listed on the label. It is illegal to use mothballs for other purposes including using mothballs in gardens.
Bleh. Mothballs are gross.
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.
The scientific name for mothballs is naphthalene.
As I opened the wardrobe, mothballs fell out.
Roaches are brown?
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.
no
