I am looking for a Zihua source to buy some mothballs. My usual source, the Chapparal Store near Sams has been closed all this week. I struck out at two ferreterias. I distribute them in dresser drawers between clothes to deter the ratones from chewing on clothing also good to put inside a vehicle that is left for 6 months. Snakes don t like them either. All part of living in the jungle.
I've bought them at Sotelo's before. Not cheap.

Gracias, yes I experienced the price hike last year.
The cheap blocks of "stuff" that cost 23 pesos for two at Bodega Aurerra to put in urinals sure smell exactly like paradichlorobenzene, which is what you are looking for. Bet it would work just as well. We use it to keep animals out of certain parts of our yard.

That's great what part of the store is it in? I have not been to bodega in 3 or 4 years. Gracias
With the cleaning supplies. Usually on the bottom shelf, sometimes on an end cap, again on the bottom. You'll have to hunt for them, but let your nose guide you!
