Does anyone have any recommendations for closet mothballs (or alternatives to mothballs) that don't have that distinctive mothball scent?

  Any scent at all? Or just not "mothball"?

  I use these - https://www.orphea.com.au/product/orphea-strips-lavender/

  They have several scents, but this one is not offensive (it does smell super strong when it comes out of the packet, but that does fade).

  Be careful with any such mothball products - whichever product you choose please make sure it does not contain naphthalene. In Australia mothballs containing naphthalene are still available despite it being fatal to kids with G6PD deficiency; a common genetic condition that often goes undetected. Its use was banned across the EU (2008) and in NZ (2014).
