Again, you might try, but if you have close neighbors, you might talk to

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I am going to give it a shot. First the hardware cloth, then the mothballs. One question tho, is mothballs safe for both the plants & the dogs? Wouldn't want it to cause more harm then good.

Thanks again,
Arman.

p.s. Mothballs used to keep my cats off from plants but they never showed any tendency to chew on them .. but i am sure the dogs will be a different story.
