Then why on earth are the skunks eating my tomato plants?

Good cure all for pests- Ex-lax!

My husbands Grandmother had skunks under her house. She paid TWO extermination companies to get rid of them, but the skunks came back again.

Hubby did some research, and a few squares of Ex-lax tossed under the house got rid of the problem for good!

WARNING- Make sure NO pets (or any other animal you want to live) doesn't get into it!

Toss a square or two of Ex-lax at the base of each plant, and it should cure the skunk problem right up in a couple of days. :)

That sounds like an interesting solution.

But I have a dog and cats. Need the cats, they are mousers.

Ever since we got hit with the flooding from Hurricane Floyd, the rats come up from the sewer system.

Now, maybe they are the ones that are eating my tomatoes? I don't know. I see the skunks around; but the only rats and mice I see are the gifts my cats bring to the back door.

Cats earn their keep.

WOW - I wonder what other garden eating animals that would handle?
