Mothballs don't deter snakes directly. they may keep away mice and other rodents that the snake eats. If there is no food for the snakes, then the snakes wont hang around your house.

I have heard that if you pour kerosene around your yard, they wont cross it because it burns or irritates their skin. Never tryed it but it's something to keep in mind.

Yes Mothballs repel mice. My neighbors and I have been using it for years. I had stopped for a year and wound up with a garage full of mice. Use it in my shed as well.

Mothballs will not kill roaches at all. The mothballs will repel the roaches with their smell. The only way to kill cockroaches is with sprays and/or bait traps.

No, mothballs may repel mosquitoes though that is inconclusive as so many people have different experiences with this method.
