Dear folks,
Anyone know the korean word for those mothballs you put in wardrobes?
I did a search online but couldn't find anything. |

The generic term is 방충제 which you might read off on a product, but it may as well mean a bug spray.
For moth balls in particular, they are more often referred to by the name of chemical substance, 나프타렌/나프탈렌(naphthalene), of which commercial product is that raw ball of white chemical contained in a plastic or fishnet casing.
For a more stylized product, you can grab a pack of 하마로이드 which is a brand of the 'Hippo' household products lineup by Reckitt Benckiser. (See http://www.oxy.co.kr/eng/product/hama/ha_sub03_2.asp) |
