Q: Will mothballs keep foxes away?

• <div><p>While foxes may find them unpleasant, mothballs are not an effective deterrent. Additionally, mothballs are toxic for humans and animals and should never be used outside.

Q: What shouldn’t you do when trying to get rid of squirrels?

• <div><p>Unlike for rats and mice, poisonous baits and fumigants aren&rsquo;t a legal option for dealing with squirrel invasions. So, don&rsquo;t set any traps up using standard rodenticides. Remember that you typically need a permit for trapping and relocating squirrels found on your property. Some states even specify the types of traps you need to use.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What smells do deer hate the most?

• <div><p>Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.</p></div>
