Towertalkians:

Yeah, the ol' moth ball  trick really works. Back a year ago I had a pair of 
skunks move in under one of my decks. The problem was that the deck was built 
so low that I couldn't  throw the moth balls under the deck. Then, I noticed 
the cracks between the boards -- no, the moth balls wouldn't fit!. My 
solution?  I placed the moth balls in my wife's food blender with a lil' 
water and chopped em' up and then placed the solution in the garden sprayer 
and sprayed the deck. It worked!  The last time I saw the skunks, they were 
headed south across my yard with their little bags with new babies in tow!

As Paul Harvey says: "Now for the rest of the story."  -- I never could get 
the smell of the moth balls out of the blender. Needless to say, the XYL has 
never let me forget that I messed up the blender heh heh
