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).

Do mothballs and sulfur keep snakes away?
They really do.It's amazing how they stay away .They wont stay away forever though .They hate the smell, but once the smell is gone, they will come back into the area. A 6" border around the area to be controlled is adequate for rattlesnakes, smaller snakes require thinner borders.Spread the sulfur or mothballs around the area you have been seeing the snakes. (Try to only use it if snakes have been entering your home or under it, sulfur can be poisonous to other animals.) Close off any openings that a snake could be coming in through. The snakes don't like the smell of these chemicals, so they should stay away.

Do mothballs get rid of 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.
