Description

Blue Diamond Naphthalene Balls (150g), often referred to as “Camphor” or “Mothballs” in West African markets, are a powerful chemical pesticide and air freshener used to protect belongings and maintain hygiene in the home.

🛡️ Core Uses & Benefits

The 150g pack usually contains small, white (or sometimes multi-colored) balls that serve several purposes:

• Pest Protection: Effectively kills and repels moths, silverfish, cockroaches, and ants that can damage clothes, books, and leather.
• Mildew Prevention: Helps keep moisture-loving fungi and mildew away from fabrics and paper in long-term storage.
• Odor Suppression: Used in bathrooms, toilets, and attics to neutralize musty or unpleasant smells.
• Disinfectant Properties: Often used in carpets or deep-storage trunks to maintain a germ-free environment.

⚠️ Essential Safety Guidelines

Because naphthalene is a toxic chemical that turns into a gas (sublimates) at room temperature, it must be handled with care:

Air-Tight Storage Only: To be effective and safe, they should be used in sealed containers (trunks, garment bags, or plastic bins). Using them in the open air allows the toxic fumes to build up in your living space.

Health Hazards: Inhaling the fumes for long periods can cause headaches, nausea, or dizziness. It is especially important to keep them away from children and pets, who may mistake them for candy.

Wash After Use: Any clothing or linens stored with these balls should be thoroughly aired out and washed before use to remove the chemical residue
