Do Mothballs Work?
The responsible answer is no. By using mothballs in an effort to keep animals away you are using a chemical in a manner that is inconsistent with its labeling, and that is against the law. By spreading mothballs throughout your attic or fireplace to drive out an animal you are actually creating a toxic environment. Fumes from mothballs are very hazardous to humans, and this creates a great danger to people livingin the house. We strongly advise that you should not use mothballs in an attempt to keep animals away.
