Is there anything we can place on the ground that will discourage them from being around (ie) cayenne pepper, etc.?
When we lived in the desert we put moth balls around our motorhome to keep away the desert rats that were the size of a small dog. I assume that would work for these critters as well, but it sure does stink!
