Karen, you already saw this but for others, this is what I had to do to "cage" my semps to ward off critters. It might have been overdoing it but peace of mind was worth it. I swung open the tops for morning hours of sun and swung the tops down during the hours of really hot sun. The barrels prevented the critters from climbing up.
