The odor is not all that bad in my garden, and the mothballs are wide open to the air.

I place several mothballs in small clay pots and put the pots on my tables and benches. I have to renew thwm once or twice a growing season, but the critters stay away.

I had a class last year with Jim Doyle and he uses mothballs as well. During the winter he actually places a few mothballs in each pot. He removes them during the growing season so none of the chemicals from the mothballs lach into the soil.

Anyway, seems to work for him as well.
