What can I do to stop this? i put this question to the folks on soc.motss -- lgb folks can supply advice on an ama6zing number of topics -- and got the following response from jess anderson at the university of wisconsin: ----------- Try fox urine, available in garden centers. Pricey, but an effective deterrent for most garden mammalian pests. They sell small bottles that have holes at the top, which you fill from the larger bottle and hang upright from a stick or directly on a tree or bush. Lasts about a month or as long as it takes to evaporate. Probably not a good defense against mountain lions, though, so be careful in them thar hills. ----------- arnold
