I was told by some one, that since camphor pellets and wood are so hard to
get, a low cost but equally effective (easier to use too) method is to buy
Campho-phenique ® gel, apply it to a cotton wad and place in an old film
canister with a hole punched in the top. Tried it and sure enough it works.
Hawaii has high humidity so it has been proven in extreme conditions!

One of the active ingredients is Camphor 10.8% there is also phenol and
mineral oil.
