A friend of mine sells franchises for a lawn care company,
and so reads a lot of lawn care trade magazines.  I work for
Bell Labs, so he showed me an ad for a mole/skunk repellent
that a company makes, under license to Bell Labs, who hold
the patent on the repellent.  Apparently BTL chemists developed
the repellent as a means to prevent moles from knawing into
the insulation/casing of certain types of buried telephone
cable.  It also seems to work on skunks, although presumably
skunks don't chew buried cable.  Just a bit of gardening "trivia".
