MothGuard 3 Pack of 5 oz Old Fashioned Original Moth Balls Repellent Closet Clothes Protector, No Clinging Odor, Kills Clothes Moths, Eggs, Larvae, and Carpet Beetles (3-Pack of 5 oz)

I'm using these to repel rats from my car engine. I don't have a garage, so I have to park under a tree to keep my car cool. We've had a rat problem since the beginning of covid, when they closed all the grocery stores and other food sources. Moth balls make a great rat repellant.

It helped me for the ineeded on time

Tbh ive been using a whole open bag in my closets to rid my florida apartment of lizards. Seems to be working so far. The smell isn’t too bad I usually light a scented candle and turn on ceiling fans to mask it

Seems just fine. I got them to chase away pack rats that we have here in Az. Didn't work for that. The people who told me that it would must have more dainty city rats who are easily offended by odor.

Moth balls seem to have gone the way of 78 rpm records and you can no longer find them everywhere. When several of my cashmere sweaters got chewed up by voracious moths I tried to solve the problem with blocks of aromatic cedar in my sweater cabinet. It seemed to make these wool scarfing devil bugs hungrier. I found these "original" moth balls on Amazon. While I thought they were shockingly expensive for three smallish bagsful, good cashmere sweaters are costly too and I liked them without random ventilation. So far at least my sweaters are now protected by the smelly, eye stinging vapors of paradichlorobenzine which I am pretty sure will repel moths. It repels me. Fortunately, if I give my sweaters a good shake and wave them around for a minute or two before wearing them the aroma almost immediately dissipates. So far so good. The big downside: I paid way too much. I just saw mothballs by the score in a local Fred Meyer drug emporium (A Kroger enterprise) for far, far less than I paid for this Amazon purchase. Caveat emptor. I love Amazon and with Amazon Prime I am a loyal and ongoing user. But with the Amazon Marketplace I think one has to be a bit more discriminating and maybe do a tad more research into product value.

No way to really know how well they work. I can only tell you I put them in a large can with a plastic top through which I drilled air holes and left them around my property under bushes. Haven't seen any skunks in a while.

I decided to try these to keep animals from digging holes in my yard since absolutely nothing else worked. I also put some under my deck and not only did it work but the wasp problem we couldn’t locate suddenly disappeared!

I seem to have bought out all of the local mothball sellers in my area, and I was in the dumps when Anne asked if I had tried Amazon. Wow! Amazon came through in spades. These are great mothballs, and while I'm using them regularly, I'll reorder as soon as I'm low again.
