I believe the answer is:

mothball

(Other definitions for mothball that I've seen before include "Put into long-term storage" , "Put under wraps" , "Naphthalene or camphor sphere" , "Camphor sphere used to keep stored clothing in good condition" , "Insect repellent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
