I have been told to put moth balls out in the landscaping where our dogs is digging. I want to know first if a moth ball is harmful to dogs?

    Hi! Mothballs are not only harmful but dangerous to  dogs. The insecticide contain inside the mothballs can cause central nervous system seizures and upon ingestion it can lead to liver failure. Vomiting and seizures are the symptoms of mothball poisoning. Take care.

    Thank you for that, it didn't seem right so wanted to check it out and find out for sure. I will have to figure out something else. I have two little ones that enjoy digging up our mulch around the pool. Thanks again!!
