Touché!   Yes, they are very toxic!  Most manmade chemicals are in this
category.

This was added (mouth balls) to a comment upon another member, who suggested
"moth balls" as a possible deterrent.  

Personally, I use an electronic device in all my planting of seeds and care
of young seedlings.  They work extremely well. Even during the snow covered
winter.

Not sure this is permitted, but for more information, please visit my
revamped website at;  www.nuttrees.com for more information on the above.

Mothballs are actually pretty toxic stuff.

If you've got to use them, at least please make sure that nothing (wild,
domestic, or human) can get at them.
