A squirrel comes into our garden on a daily basis and digs holes in the lawn and boarders.
We have been told that speading mothballs around the garden is likely to put off the squirrel from its excavations.
If this is true, where can old-fashioned mothballs be bought?
Most anti-moth stuff these days seems to come in sachets than hang in wardrobes etc.
Will mothballs deter the squirrel?
What other suggestions can you good people come up with?

Or alternatively, dress up as a female squirrel(albeit a hideously huge and overgrown one) lure it to you sexually! When you have won its affections - kick ifs scrawny squirrel ass all over the lawn! It willl never live it down - Being beaten by a lass - and leave under a cloud!

People buy them to discourage cats and squirrels and they tell me it really works ... they dont like the smell apparently and yet it doesn't harm either plants or soil .... mothballs around £1.20 a box (haven't counted em but there's quite a few in there). Alternatively Jeyes Fresh Bin is supposed to do the trick as well ... £1.95 a carton.

I still find that this is the best method of dealing with unwanted garden pests and annoying yobs
