I covered up the entrance. A nice hole chewed right thru the soffet. I got a couple last year with a pellet gun. I will borrow the neighbors tomorrow and thin the heard out a bit more. Easy pickins on the bird feeder. it will also save me a bunch of cash on birdseed. And a trip to wallmart for a rat trap is in order. I bet if i nail it to the side of the house where they were getting in i will get the bastards. Cant believe i mispelled the subject to this post as bad as i did.
Thanks for all the info, god help us all if PETA monitors the scuppers.
