Greetings: Someone other than me put mothballs in my car and the smell is awful. Do you think that your product will help?

I would try it, I think someone had kids that spilled milk in the car. It was pretty nasty, this worked. Spray it at night and let it sit over night before opening the car(at least6-8 hours).

Avoid at all costs. This will leave your car smelling like a chemical factory for weeks

i don't know about that, because my application is just as an annual treatment. however, you can try various "natural odor eliminators", such as baking soda, borax,etc. just go online to research these applications. good luck!!!

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

I bought two different styles and both smell like moth balls. I am trying to decide if I should take them back or run them through the dishwasher and hope it goes away.

YES!! I tried every product you can imagine. NOTHING WORKED! However, I finally invested in a deep freezer and I PUT ALL MY CLOTHES IN THE FREEZER 15-20 PIECES OF CLOTHING AT A TIME FOR 24 HRS. I KEEP ADDING CLOTHES UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL BEEN IN THE FREEZER FOR 24 HRS. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED. If there is a moth hiding in the dark, which they do, you'll see them laying eggs or larvae on your clothes. I CONSISTENTLY PUT MY CLOTHES IN THE FREEZER AND THEY ARE SUBSIDING LITTLE BY LITTLE. IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAS WORKED FOR ME. THIS "SAFER CLOTHES MOTH" DOES NOT WORK...I NEVER CAUGHT A THING WITH IT!!!

OOH I wouldn't use it in cars! It's very potent smelling! I would perhaps look for the wasp issue itself so it doesn't get in your car. Locate the nest thingies they make and spray it to death with a specific wasp product (preferably one that allows you to stay away the heck back!). However, if you can handle the smell of bug spray and don't mind having a car full of the heady cloud of insect spray, I cannot imagine why it wouldn't work on them directly. For a wasp, I'd spray it until it pretty much drowned in the stuff though. You can't trust wasps not to retaliate. I use it for flies and seed moths and it works perfectly ...just very potently stinky. OOH I wouldn't use it in cars! It's very potent smelling!

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

Well, it may kill closet odors as it emits a faint cedar aroma, but I'm not aware of any "odors" in my closets (I'm not a smoker) so I really don't know. What I DO know is that my cashmere sweaters are no longer a "moth concern" for me.

I think the scent of the oil may be too strong for the car. However, they do sell a spray but I haven't used it! Don't know how effective it is.

I think it works very well for clothes moths. It attracts them before they can find a home in your clothes. Not sure it would do much good if you already have an infestation.

Hi Dan, my problem was squirrels gettings in my engine. I sprinkled this around my car and it kept them away. Give it a try. I hope it works!

Not ideal. It is oil based and does have a strong odor. You might be able to set up exhaust fans and seal the door to the house. It takes a couple days for the smell to off gas. Once it does there is no odor. This is a great product, I highly recommend it.

Yes, but the ones I received had very little smell compared to the ones I purchased from an auto store. I placed one in my car with the wrapping completely removed and still couldn't smell it.

My Corvette suffered a mouse infestation on top of the engine block last winter. I took to putting mouse traps in the engine compartment to keep them under control before they starting eating my expensive wires and sensors. Now I spray this stuff in the engine compartment every week or so and so far no mouses have nested there. Also, my wife's Jeep had the same problem. So, to answer your question, that's what I bought them for (so far I have purchased 4 bottles). Seems to work, but those critters might just get used to it - I don't know. Regards, Stewart Kane

No Linda it did not smell like moth balls or have any other strange odors. I have been using the blanket often and all I can say is so far so good.I hope this helps you.

If you can completely eliminate the odor, it will help deter them. I suggest getting a urine spotting light so you can be sure all urns is gone. Also it often takes me 2 applications of the product to really get urine out

Yeah - basically this stuff is just industrial-grade mothballs. That's why it has that smell. It'll go away in about 2 weeks by itself - maybe sooner depending on the amount of rain. If it's real bad you can try to just hose it down to dissolve the crystals.
