Squirrels
Looking for effective solutions against grey squirrels. We were prepping for our first trip of the season and discovered that Mom had found a home for the 3 little ones in the rear of the 5er, mainly on the street side. She gained enterance at the bumper support by jumping on the bumper and chewing thru the chloroplast. Here may have been a small hole there but it's hard to tell now. The other side is pretty tight. She chewed away some of those pesky wires for tank sensors, tail lights, and interior electrical but she did not get inside.
When we winterized last fall we used all the usual stuff to deter mice-cloves, dryer sheets, electronic device, and lots of mothballs all around the exterior and especially around the tires and landing gear. Stabilizer jacks were up. We still had the strong odor of moth balls all around and mothballs still in the gravel driveway.
The nest inside was made primarily with leaves and there must have been a small amount of water in the hose leading from the water tank because she chewed through the hose and tank fitting to get the water. About 1 foot of hose was half chewed off.
We are finally the road after three hard days work to fix things up and so far all looks good except my back and fingers which look pretty raw.
Any suggestions on how to avoid this next year?
