even better just purchase a water gun and when they go after your toes
blast them with a stream of water.  After 2 or 3 squirts they won't
attack your or anyone's toes for fear of The Squirt Gun again that's
what I did for my boy Bubba he would literally draw blood so a couple
zaps with the squirt gun will stop them without the pepper mint oil or
anything that expensive just like 99 [cents] for a squirt gun at walmart
or a plant misting bottle if it has a stream spray setting.
