Hello. We have a ground hog family living near the garden. They like
to eat everything. will a few moth balls down the hole do the trick or
are they too toxic?

Thank you,

I've been using fox and coyote urine this year. I haven't seen any
groundhogs this season so it's possible that the stuff works. This is a
single data point which isn't enough to prove anything but it's worth a
try.


How do you get this?


I bought it at a garden center. It's not liquid, it's essentially kitty
litter that's soaked in urine. It comes in a shaker bottle.
