btw, if you have a vermin problem..i started a new thing that may or may not be working . too soon to tell
Those SOBs get behind the board that supports my patio door ..the one under the frame.. If I try to block it with netting or other means they find another way..like burrowing.
So I took a cottage cheese container, poked a few holes, and put in a towel soaked in clove oil.
I havent heard the scratching since..but it could just be a predator ate the chipmunk..or mouse..whatever it was this time.
I have to find a method to get rid of the scent that lasts for years the draws them back
