Our neighbors must've laid out a whole ton of moth balls because the smell is fumigating the whole neighborhood!!!

I read that moth balls are bad for pregnant women to inhale.

Anyone know how to eliminate moth ball smell??

Please... any advice... thank you so much!!!

Have you talked to the neighbor because some pesticides can smell like mothballs or even if they have termites. but you can use a dehumidifier or even plenty of air freshers

It's definitely moth balls... They're all over their yard.

They might be trying to repel snakes and insects

I know they're probably trying to repel something... but I want to eliminate the smell because my Dr. said it's dangerous for a pregnant woman to inhale the moth ball odor because of the gases it emits into the air.
We talked to the neighbors about it so I pray that they will get rid of them but I really don't think they will. People can be so insensitive, selfish, and rude to others around them. It's sad.

Where are they putting the things? If they are a health hazard and these folks don't listen to reason, call housing.

*Unless, of course, you don't live on-post.

Yea, we live off post... so unfortunately, I don't think there's really anything we can do about removing them or not.

I just can't believe how many they put out! I can understand a few but it smells like they put out 10 boxes worth of those darn things... no joke! It's so strong that it's seeping into our house! I don't even see how they can stand it themselves. It's awful!
