Got my mothballs in post today, coo er they don't have niff!
Going to crush them and spread them round bottom of hedges as suggested
to deter Muntjac from eating my vegetables!

The mothballs ponged out the sorting office apparently and my poor
postman's sack and are now in the garage behind two doors but i can
still smell them in the house!

wonder if they might deter mice from greenhouse when i sow peas?


I'm told if you have squirrels in your loft, generous use of mothballs
really will prevent them coming back.
