Can I use moth balls or moth crystals to keep snakes, birds, skunks or mice out of my house?
Moth balls and moth crystals contain high concentrations of insecticides designed to off-gas to repel pests. Most often, moth balls are only allowed to be used in sealed containers that allow the fumes to build up to a level that kills clothes moths while preventing the fumes from entering living spaces inhabited by humans or pets. Inhaling the mothball fumes can cause health problems. Read the product label for specific instructions on safe handling and use. Click here to learn about the proper use of moth balls.
