I agree 100%. First, no squirrel has EVER eaten into my cage, but I mounted TWO owls and it did not keep them away. I had them up for over 10 years and the only way I ever get rid of squirrels was the Hav-a-Hart trap and relocation (30+ in one year). If something is eating through your cage, you can be pretty sure it is rats. I have TEN "rat hotels" around my cage, refill them with poison every three months, and rarely do I find no bait has been eaten. But NOTHING has eaten through my cage in years and I've never even seen a rat, so they're eating the the poison and dying. (You can get all you need from domyownpestcontrol.com at a reasonable price.)
