No- you will never effectively repel rodents from a structure.
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.
Snake poop typically has a strong, unpleasant odor, but it doesn't smell like mothballs. The odor is more reminiscent of the smell of decay due to the diet of the snake, which often consists of rodents and other prey. Mothballs have a distinct chemical scent from the substances used to make them, such as naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which is not present in snake feces.
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.
The scientific name for mothballs is naphthalene.
As I opened the wardrobe, mothballs fell out.
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.
the mothballs will fly away
I have never known mothballs to cause nose bleeds.
NO! Not safe!
Yes, mothballs contain naphthalene, which is a poison if inhaled.
The gradual vaporization of mothballs in a closet is a physical change. This is because the mothballs are changing from a solid state (solid mothballs) to a gaseous state (mothball vapor) without undergoing a chemical reaction.
