Small critters have very sensitive noses and don’t seem to like the odor of moth balls. If you can stand the smell, try leaving a small (well-punctured) sandwich bag of mothballs inside the car and in it’s engine compartment, or maybe dropping a few in the dashboard defroster vents. I’m told by some farmer friends that strategically placed moth balls seem to help keep mice from moving in and chewing up the wiring on farm equipment in barns and such. I have personally encouraged skunk families to permanently move out by throwing a bunch of moth balls into their den area back under my deck and patio.
Mr. Harrop, maybe you are suffering from cartoonist’s block, but it’s hard to see where you’ve been going with the strip these past few weeks. When do you plan to get back to the hilarious adventures of Annie and her ten little friends?
Think blunderbuss vs sniper rifle.
