Naphthalene!

Ailz read somewhere that mothballs repel rats so we bought some.

You could smell them through the packaging.

The kitchen- where they rested over night (still in their boxes, still in the plastic they were wrapped in for the post) now smells like an Edwardian lady's armoire.

As a child I liked the smell; I associated it with my grandmother. Now, I'm rather less enamoured.

If it works, the smell will be well worth it!

Well yes; mothballs and kitchen do not quite go together.
