Squirrels are digging holes in my container plants. I've heard that moth
balls in the pots might disuade them. Anyone heard of this or have any other
suggestions?

Thanks,

Yes, but moth balls might kill the plants...
Put them in mesh bags and suspend them so they don't come in contact
with the soil.

Let us know if this helps please?

Mothballs are very toxic to soil, animals, you, me, water, etc. Please don't
use them. They sell over the counter products to deter squirrels and they work
perfectly well.

My daughter used a small tomato cage and a net to protect her container
plant from squirrels. It worked very well.

Twelve-year-old son and a low-powered BB gun worked until he lost
interest. But the squirrels still jump when we open the patio door.

Well, I've had fried, stewed, and roasted (kind of, that wasn't very
good). But the boy's BB gun wouldn't crack an eggshell from more than 5
feet away - it's more of an attention-getter than anything that actually
damages the squirrels.

But, I like them to jump to attention when I open the door . . .

I suppose...if what you like to be is mean spirited. You're on the right
track, then.
