Smart little varmints. I have been traversing the web and every time I find something that sounds interesting, I also find posts saying that the method doesn't work. Frustrating! Are professional exterminators able to deal with them? If I can just get this group out from under my tree for the winter, I can take steps to repel them starting in the spring.
And by the way, I have two cats but I no longer let them out. Never had pests, rabbits, or anything when I had outdoor cats, but it is now too dangerous to let them out.
