Anyone have a solution for keeping them from chewing through screens on a screened in porch? They do it to get in and climb into the soffits to build nests when it’s nesting time. My handyman asked why I just didn’t leave the door open for them and they wouldn’t have to chew through the screens. I didn’t think much of that idea. LOL He has repaired and repaired the holes in the screen and the colder it gets, the more they’ll be inclined to start up again. He has cut and put sturdier screen over at least 3/4 of the soffit and needs to finish it. They are such a menace and so destructive. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Against the law to shoot them here but it sure is tempting!

There is a pet proof screen that works very well at not snagging after cats climb it, and not ripping when dogs try to get through it. Maybe it would work for squirrels.
