Description:

White naphthalene balls, also known as mothballs, are small, white, solid spheres made primarily of naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. These substances are volatile and sublimate at room temperature, releasing a strong, pungent odor that repels insects and pests. The balls are typically glossy and uniform in size, often about the size of a marble.

Key Properties:

• Strong, distinctive smell

• Volatile (sublimates directly from solid to gas)

• White and waxy in appearance

• Toxic if ingested or inhaled in large amounts

Uses of White Naphthalene Balls:

1. Pest Repellent:

   • Repels moths, silverfish, cockroaches, and other insects.

   • Commonly used in closets, drawers, and wardrobes to protect clothes, especially woolens, from insect damage.

2. Storage Protection:

   • Placed in suitcases, trunks, or storage boxes to keep stored fabrics safe from pests during long periods.

3. Odor Control:

   • Used in toilets, urinals, and garbage areas to mask unpleasant odors and deter insects.

4. Repelling Rodents:

   • Sometimes used in attics or basements to deter rats and mice, although this use is less effective and not recommended due to toxicity concerns.

5. Medicinal and Industrial Uses (limited):

   • Occasionally found in traditional remedies or for fumigation purposes, though such uses are rare and often discouraged due to health risks.
