Laurie, don't leave mothballs where young children can pick them up. They
can be lethal (1/1000 cases of swallowed mothballs results in renal
destruction)
My son ate mothballs and had to have his stomach pumped at age 14months. Not
a pleasant experience.
Cheers, and happy gardening, Jan, in Australia
