I hear this is good to keep the rodent out of the airbox and the naphtha can help the engine run well(?) Could the mothballs ruin a MAF? Any experience here?
Mothballs in filter box?

I have done this to many of "my customer's" cars that aren't driven much. I put them in the engine compartment away from super hot things like exhaust obviously.
No ill-effects to MAF here. I have put them on the dirty side of the air filter, so they don't get sucked up.

Wouldn't this be introducing abrasives into the intake system?
Should be only vapour.
Mothballs are generally a chlorinated aromatic and/or naphthlene. They sublime (go from a solid to a vapor). Rodents rend to hate these and they make an effective way of keeping rabbits away from garden plants.
I may go for it , as long as my car doesnt start smelling like grandma's attic!
There are more rats than people in NYC.
What ever you do, don't smell the moth balls.
They don't enjoy having their leg spread apart!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
Just had to throw that in.
I'll go have my coffee now.
