The main use of 1, 4-Dichlorobenzene is to get rid of certain pests and to control moths, molds and mildews. It's also mainly used as a space deodorant for toilets and refuse containers. The compound can also be used in other chemicals to control tree boring insects and the control of mold in tobacco seeds (1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1992). The way this compound works is that the strong odors of this compound kill by the chemical's potent fumes (Johnson, Ann, n.d.).
