appreciate any help on this but I just looked up mothballs & they are called bolas de naftalina, is that correct? & do pharmacias sell them or ferreterias?

If not available here in Spain, what else can I use to deter mice.

Apparently mice don´t like mothballs so I want some, well, rather a lot actually.
Cheers, thanks for your help.

Mothballs have been banned from sale in UK but are readily available here in any of the 'Chinese Bazaars'.

(The only reason I know this is that I used to be a beekeeper and we used them all the time to deter wax moths)

Mucky Donna sells them because Mrs Posh wanted to deter me from entering her knicker-draw.



Also We use them to take the Doggie smells from the 4x4 after the dogs have been in the Sea. So we bought ours from there.

Anti polillas as far as I know.., yes othrwise bolas or bollitas de Nafta.

cheers - found them in the chino, 60c a bag.

Couldn´t find them in mercadona, looked all over.

Thanks for chino suggestion.

Hmmm, personally I would use traps and poison. I don't believe in p*ssing about with deterrence when it comes to vermin.

Mouse proofing is difficult as a young mouse can get thru a hole if you can stick a bic biro thru it.

Having said that, it's still worth a try.

Bil I didn't know young moths liked cheese

Well just don't stick a bic biro through, use something else....

Well, the OP did say "If not available here in Spain, what else can I use to deter mice.
