Default Mothballs not just for moths

I have seen grackles preen themselves with mothballs, as well. Mothballs do work well to discourage woodchucks, especially if you find their holes, throw a handful in and bury the holes. Later when watching a nature program, it showed grackles picking up mothballs and rubbing them against their bodies. They said they do it to rid themselves of mites. Who knew?
