Mecklenburg County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Is It Safe To Use Napthalene As Rodent Repellant? - Mothballs have been touted as repellants of all kinds of wildlife for a long time. Rodents do not like the odor of moth balls any more than anyone else does. Do they work to get the rodents out of your house? That depends on where in the house they have found a home. If they have found just an opening that does not let them into the entire attic or basement but keeps them confined to a closed off niche, then moth balls may work very well. A box full of moth balls in a confined area can be enough to make the rodent leave. A box full of moth balls in an entire attic will do little but give off an odor.

Naphthalene as rodent repellant is safe so long as they don't eat it. There is really no way a rodent would eat moth balls since they do not smell like food at all. In fact, the rodents would be repelled from eating them; therefore they would not be harmful. This isn't always the case with pets and small children though. Unfortunately, rodents are not quite repelled enough by moth balls to move out of a comfortable soft attic with insulation and their private supply of rafters to chew on. To get rid of the rodents, you may have to use different measures.
