Found info on Transfluthrin
To Bright Star and everyone who is considering purchasing these. I found a detailed description of the toxicity of Transfluthrin here:[...]

there is no easy way to find out
I am not entirely sure how well it works, since I started using it after having already dealt with the moth infestation through other means and I still see the occasional moth.What is troubling about this product is that neither zensect.net (supposedly the official site) nor www.cadum-iba.co.uk (the manufacturer's site) are valid addresses as of the time of this review. Which means that one cannot inquire about the toxicity of the product.The box says "safe for all the family," but what does it mean? The active ingredient listed is Transfluthrin 0.52% w/w. The box lists a number of warnings in smaller print, including "R50/53 : Very toxic to aquatic organisms."I was trying to research the product's safety for pets, but unfortunately, there is no easy way to find out, as neither the brand, nor the manufacturer's sites are in service.

I was surprised to see the customs declaration on it ...
I was surprised to see the customs declaration on it stating that it was shipped from the U.KThe lavender scent is a welcome addition to my storage chests.

Works but does not last 6 months
Noticed a few moths flying round my flat in the last couple months and when prepping for a wedding, I spotted a few suspect looking holes in my kilt. So I decided to get some moth balls before they do anymore damage. I didn't want the horrible smelling (but undeniably effective) chemical ones so went for these. Lovely lavender smell that's leaves your clothes smelling fresh but not overpowering.The balls are orange and come in little plastic sachets, in a zip lock bag, in a box. Would have liked the zip-lock bag to be the outer packaging to be more environmentally friendly but least the cardboard can be recycled. Open the zip-lock bag, tear a sachet off the strip and throw the sachet into your cupboard / drawer (the ball stays inside the sachet, not to be removed). The outer of the sachets have some sort of residue on them that feels a little "greasy" however, I wiped a bunch of them on an old white shirt and it didn't leave any stains so I figured it's fine. Yet to notice any staining on any garment.I put one in each drawer and the remaining 12 in my wardrobe (a lot of wool in there so why not, 3 boxes is a lot of moth balls that I'm not sure will keep). Spread them out, one in the pocket of each woollen garment, suit bag etc. It's been a month since I used them and I've only seen one moth since then so it seems to be effective.My girlfriend took one out her jacket pocket and left it on the table, so I've been using that as an indicator as to when to change. When the balls turn white, it's time to replace them. Been there for a week, still orange but faded. Don't think it'll last the claimed 6 months but looks like long enough to make them worth the money. Will be buying again when I run out*editBeen 3 months since I placed them in my wardrobe and they're completely white and a little crumbly. Not even close to lasting 6 months. Was worth a shot but better value elsewhere I think.

Not what I expected
We have bought this item many times so know what to expect. Unfortunately the moth balls turned white within 3-4 weeks after they were used. We have had a similar problem once before with another seller. We do not know why this should happen as the box clearly states that the product is good until 6/5/21. If we cannot rely on this product then we will no longer buy it. Perhaps the company that makes this product should be spoken to about this situation.

Doesn't do what it says on the tin.
Items ahead of schedule. I put the balls in their sachets in wardrobes and drawers. Within a month almost half of those turned white - needed to be replaced, rather than last for nearer 3 months as advertised. I have received a refund from Amazon.

was super impressed by the amount I got in this 3pack
You get LOADS of balls, was super impressed by the amount I got in this 3pack. I have run out of places to put them. I have noticed that my clothes haven't been nibbled by moths which is fantastic; I do still have them flying around (I am using other methods to get rid of them at their source.)The only reason it isn't 5 stars is I'm not a hug fan of the smell, the lavender is sickly sweet and almost greasy smelling? Hard to explain. but does't go on to clothes much which is good, and the smell is SO much nicer than old fashioned moth balls too I must say.Also note to customers: the balls are wrapped in plastic pockets that arrive in a chain, be carfeful when separating them because I ruined a few by being over zealous and tearing them. Whoops.Very Nice BALLS.

Seems to keep the moths away
Been using these for years and they certainly seem to work and don't put out any nasty smells. They also change from an orange to white colour over time so you know when to replace them.

Easy to use, but read the caveats
As a moth deterrent this seems to be effective. The balls stay in their perforated protective plastic sachets and release the moth killer slowly up to about six months, but lose effect sooner if the drawer or wardrobe is well ventilated or in very frequent use, possibly in only a month. They lose colour as the effect wears off.The balls are supplied in a zip-loc re-sealable bag so you can use them in sequence, making sure to re-seal the bag each time another ball is taken out. This is an improvement on some other makes where once opened the shipping bag is useless.I can remember using Vapona insecticides five decades ago. I hope these balls are equally as effective.These work best as part of a system including regular vacuuming, short-term contact sprays, and other longer term slow-release preventatives such as hanging strips.

Moth prevention
Excellent product which eliminates moths and their eggs. No problems in application, I put the small balls (each packed in a perforated light plastic bag - not to be removed) up high (out of reach of children, who might think they are sweets) and have never had any problems. They last three months - I use them regularly through the year and never have moth damage.

Great product to protect your woollen items - whether jackets
Great product to protect your woollen items - whether jackets, clothes, (wardrobe), or carpets and around the skirting boards to deter or protect long floor hanging curtains. I've used this tucked behind sofa cushions too - it deters all creepy crawlies - like huge house spiders as much as moths!Only downside does not last as long as it suggests - so a repeat purchase rather frequently is a little costly.

I dont recommend
Although I didnt opened the inner packs as instructed, my hands started to smell terrible after touching them. I know that to touch these things is not healthy. There are better ones in market. Im very unhappy that ı bought 3 packs

Keeping Moths away
Using some small open top pots I have these moth balls in every drawer protecting my cloths. The moth ball smell is not noticeable and these small packets do their job well. In the wardrobe I have them hanging around four positions along the length of the rail, again all looks good. After the recommended time to change them (they turn from orange to white) it’s easy to see when they need to be changed.

Best brand I’ve used
...although I can’t figure out if these kill or only deter moths, it doesn’t actually say on the packaging, but at least the smell is bareable, it’s not strong like smelly lavender or moth balls and they don’t give me a headache like some other moth repelleants.

Very good
These are excellent, and they work, and I keep buying, just wish they were designed to last longer than a few months. Balls changing colour to white is so handy to know when to replace them.

It works fairly well
This product seems to reduce the risk of moth damage to our clothes. When we moved in four years ago and found the house was infested with moths. We had the house sprayed twice and used Zen Sect moth baths and hangers in drawers and cupboards and after four years hardly see a moth.

Kills pesky carpet moths
These are great for leaving in your bedroom, wardrobe etc. They keep the moths at bay and it's really satisfying when you hoover up the dead ones at the end of the week. If you suffer from carpet moths in your hair, one of these in each ear would make a great pair of functional earrings.

Discreet, easily stored - and these moth balls smell good
I've used a number of packs of these excellent moth balls in recent years. They are easy to use, no touching of the mother balls themselves needed, last well and signal by a change of colour when they need replacing. Not a single moth attack since using them.
