Exactly, in fact a birdcage will not keep rats out, I've had them chew through my lanai because I had bird seed on the lanai. I soon put the seed in a plastic tub with a lid and the problem was solved.

When had mine I just turned the heat down to 80 degrees, also I drained my every 2 months and done through cleaning. I got this model spotted cause it small. Both seats lay back. Not that expensive, and it plug and play which I already wired for.

I have stored Christmas decorations in 5 gallon thick Home Depot buckets with lids and had mice chew through them when no food was involved!

Maybe they can’t smell it being it’s sealed air tight?

We have the same setup. Considering a hot tub. Do you have to get ARC approval? Permits?

What is the purpose of a hot tub? Besides sitting in hot water and having a few drinks what purpose do they serve?

Does there need to be more?

I find sitting in hot water and having a few drinks rather enjoyable and relaxing.

Occasionally, the jets work to relax a sore back or the hot water soothes some aching muscles.
