I use generators (big one for AC needs, small one for other use), but looking to add some solar this year, I added a septic holding tank (tank only, not system) to direct dump into. I added a cellular trail camera that takes a 4 pictures a day + any motion and send to my email. (about $27 a month fee - Spartan GoCam)

I still put some traps inside the basement to make sure nothing is getting inside... also I have a local bobcat that is helping in the effort.
