Can someone identify these weird round white objects found in 2nd floor sink drain?

I went to clean out a 2nd floor sink drain and came across what looked like a bunch of gelatin like white spheres. Anyone know what these are? Thee sizes are between a large fish egg and a marble.

They might be the balls to mask a smell often found in a urinal in a public restroom.

Agree with you bob they are camphor balls. Someone obviously had the drain smell coming back. No trap probably then?

My initial reaction was they were camphor (or mothballs). Think you are right.

No, they definitely are not. The maid has never used these and they were more like some kind of egg.

Well you will never catch "whatever" without a sink trap

Thanks for the sensible answer. Indeed they are eggs of some sort, but how they got into the system and climbed up 4 metres is a mystery. If they got in from the interior of the house, then they must have been pretty small as the stopper is not more than 1 cm in height.

They can get into wall outlets with no visible entry so am sure they can get through a 1cm crack (which they might increase as they pass through).
