Camphor
Camphor is a common terpenoid that many are familiar with due to its presence in decongestant rubs. You most likely have this terpenoid in many products you currently have at home. The primary source of camphor is the camphor tree; camphor is not limited to the camphor tree though, it is also abundant in rosemary, kapur trees, and camphor basil. When isolated, the terpenoid looks like a transparent or white liquid.
Uses
Use of camphor can be traced back centuries all the way to Southeast Asia and throughout India where is was traded. Then and now, the terpenoid is commonly used by locals as moth balls. In the United States, camphor is an ingredient in insect repellents and insecticides. Camphor blocks can even be purchased to rid an entire area of insects.
