Another thing altogether is to scatter them around to try to scare small animals or even risk poisoning them.
Despite what some people say mothballs can not be used for repelling snakes mice raccoons or any other wildlife pest.
For some time the relief is obvious but the permanent result is no it is a waste of time and money and wild animals wont repel from home.

Keep in mind that you would also need to use a large enough quantity of the repellent in question to deliver results particularly if your attic is well ventilated which is typically the case.
