If you put toxic mothballs outside in the elements, I can only assume you hate the planet.

From Wikipedia:

Environmental and health effects
p-DCB is poorly soluble in water and is not easily broken down by soil organisms. Like many hydrocarbons, p-DCB is lipophilic and will accumulate in the fatty tissues.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have determined that p-DCB may reasonably be anticipated to be acarcinogen, although there is no direct evidence.[4] Animals given very high levels in water developed liverand kidney tumors.[citation needed] The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a target maximum contaminant level of 75 micrograms of p-DCB per liter of drinking water (75 μg/L).[5] p-DCB is also an EPA-registered pesticide.[6] The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a maximum level of 75 parts of p-DCB per million parts air in the workplace (75 ppm) for an 8-hour day, 40-hour workweek.[citation needed]
Under California's Proposition 65, p-DCB is listed as "known to the State to cause cancer".[7]

Those cloth bags come with some roll your own tobacco & papers. I forget the brand, it's been along time since i smoked.
 
mothballs are also said to be good to spread around your car to keep porcupines from eating your tires & rubber hoses.
