Once the mothballs were removed, it took him about 20 minutes to get back to his usual location and settle back in... I'd say its pretty effective

Hi Alex, thanks for the confirmation.
I hope your Python didn't get too shirty with you for stopping him sitting in his favourite spot.
I think I'll be rolling a few around the shed and pump enclosure as a deterrent from now on. I don't like little surprises like that.
Cheers
