Are moth balls an effective way to control mice?

Answer by  GanaElee (90)

Yes moth balls will chase mice away or prevent them from entering, but you can not cover all the small openings that mice can slip through so back up traps would be a good idea.

Yes and no. They can be an effective repellent for things like snakes and might help initially with rodents. But as the chemical in them wanes their effect does.

No, moth balls are not an effective way to control mice. Moth balls are not called "mouse balls" for a reason, and this reason should be clear. Unless, of course, you use the moth balls as "shot" in a muzzle loading gun and then subsequently shoot the mice with them.
