OK.. lets try this again...
when I find critters inside I treat them like I do whenever/whereever I notice them... I kill them... I was torn between becoming a wildlife habatat.. or a toxic wate site... I could have gone in either direction... I've found plastique explosives work quite well... yes I have a small heater in the cool room.. it needs very little... a the 2" foam building is about airtight after I foam the edges together... your refrigerator has about an inch of foam... the house is double that... and some small lighting... sometimes on a timmer ..and sometimes like lat year.. a single LED spot... burning 24/7...jut to keep their interest up...
Oh this is the widow trellis as it ended it's season... Brazilian vine wasn't lowering at this time ..but has a few buds going to open soon... and lots of passion flowers and fruits... as I brought it in and stood it up underneath a 500 watt HID grow light..on a motorized track...

the trellis is a square of 2 X 2" green wood... with the two lower edges extend so they slip into the planter that's lashed to the building... the top is secured by the two lines going back to the top of the window.. this is where you adjust the tilt of the trellis... to move it in I unlash the window box from the building and bring it inside... the upper ropes support the top as this is happening.. I sit the planter on the flooor... then remove the top lines and finish bringing it inside... where it sits under a 500 watt HID light
