It’s in the house we just bought. Super pungent in the closets. I’ve already vacuumed the walls, floor and shelves, there’s not carpe, and I’ve sprayed it down with water/vinegar/lemon oil.
Air. Moth balls contain a petroleum product. It will dissipate into the air if given plenty of fresh air. Use a floor fan helps move the air around. When very little odor is detected, give the garments a good steam pressing. The heat will complete the dissipation; The steam will freshen the fibers. Dry cleaning will definite take out the smell quickly.
Place several bowls of vinegar around the house and run several fans. I will take some time but all odors eventually go away. Your other option may be to paint with Kilz. Good luck and be patient. There are worse odors to contend with.
I put a moth ball under kitchen sink. Just removed it the smell in all over the kitchen but mainly under sink area. The smell is making me sick. What can I do. I have tried everything

if it's clothing, I would wash them in about 1/3 cup of baking soda.
