Do Mothballs Kill Fleas?

Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They can cause irritation and discomfort, and they can also transmit diseases. Mothballs are a type of pesticide that is used to repel moths. They contain a chemical called naphthalene, which is toxic to insects. However, naphthalene is not effective at killing fleas.
