Mothballs are specifically intended for small enclosed environments - the fumes are toxic and they're not good for a garage. I share one of my garages with my neighbor and a few winters ago, after rodents chewed on his car's wiring harness, he went nuts with the mothballs. I was regularly removing buckets of the things, and at times it was so bad I couldn't go in the garage without opening the door. I could once smell them from *inside* my car in the alley.
We're using wintergreen now - apparently does the job, isn't toxic and smells kinda good. I also use fabric softener and open the heater levers.
