Well, here are three comments:
1. A couple of friends have tried mothballs and they did not work.
2. One friend swears by Irish Spring Green (that's not the right name -- it's
the
green deodorant soap advertised on TV) shaved off with a pocketknife and spread
around.
3. This one I just love -- I have a friend who is into Chevvies and always has a
half dozen to store. Every winter, he puts each one in a huge plastic bag --
you can
get them at Farm Co-Op - farmers use them for storing sileage (that's chopped up
corn stalks to you city folks) and puts a pan of oil dry under the car as a
dessicant......
