Will moth balls repel ticks and fleas?

Mothballs contain chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which can be toxic to insects, including ticks and fleas. However, they are not specifically designed for pest control and may not effectively repel or kill these parasites. Additionally, mothballs can pose health risks to humans and pets if inhaled or ingested. It's better to use products specifically formulated for repelling ticks and fleas for effective control.
