Mothballs get smaller over time primarily due to the sublimation of their active chemical compounds, such as naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. These substances transition from a solid state directly into gas without becoming liquid, causing the mothballs to gradually shrink. Additionally, exposure to air and humidity can accelerate this process. As the mothballs evaporate, their effectiveness as a pest repellent diminishes.
