Thank you, Jan, for the warning. All of my kids are 4-legged
varieties, and I do not intend to scatter moth balls around the
garden. I have been known, however, to place a few under the hood of
my car to try to prevent mice from building nests in my fan. I won't
do that again now for fear that displaced moth balls may end up being
eaten off the ground by one of the animals.
