Overview of Naphthalene Balls

Naphthalene balls, also known as mothballs, are white, solid balls made of refined naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. It is used as a fumigant to repel moths, insects and other pets, primarily in closets and storage areas.

The chemicals in the balls release vapors that deter insects. However, naphthalene is toxic to humans and animals if ingested and can cause skin irritation; proper handling and disposal are necessary. 

Some people prefer natural alternatives like cedarwood or lavender. Regulations exist in some countries to limit their use due to health and environmental concerns.

Benefits

• The strong odor of naphthalene acts as an effective insect repellent, protecting clothes and fabrics from moth larvae.
• Naphthalene fumigant properties make it very useful for preserving textiles, preventing insect infestation in stored items and even deterring certain animals from entering specific areas.
• Despite its toxicity, when used correctly, naphthalene can provide long-lasting protection against pests.
• Additionally, naphthalene is relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making it a popular choice for insect control in various settings. 
• However, it is crucial to follow safety guidelines to minimize health risks associated with naphthalene exposures.

Usage Instructions

Storage and Shelf Life

• It’s important to keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent the buildup of fumes. When stored correctly, naphthalene balls have a long shelf life, typically lasting for several years.
