My mom had trouble with squirrels getting her potted plants. They took her eggplant plants right out of the pots. Now the weirdest one was when the squirrel called 911 for my mother in law!
she had a knock on the door at #;00 am from the police and it scared her to death. then later the next day the phone company found where a squirrel had chewed on the phone wires and it called 911. Those squirrels do wild things!

herb plants? And usually they dig but in this case the mulch around the
missing plants was undisturbed. Any ideas on what could be doing this and
how to prevent it in the future?
