Benefits of Camphor
Here are some unexpected things that can be utilized from mothballs:
1. Killing Insects on Plants
To get rid of bugs in potted plants, place the plant in a clear plastic bag, such as a cleaning bag, add a few grains of camphor, and seal for a week.
When you remove the plant from the bag, your plant will be free of insects. This will also keep the moths away for a while.
2. Repel Rats from Garages and Warehouses
Don't let mice spend their lives in your garage or shed. Place a few grains of mothballs around the garage, and the mice will look elsewhere.
3. Rinsing Wool Clothes

4. Overcoming Smell in Shoes
