Also, you want to turn it on after dark and then back on during daylight as opossum are crepuscular.

Are they like deer... can you keep them away by pissing and marking territory?
Every one I have ever dealt with moved on after confrontation, so I never had to rid myself of them. I have pissed in their nests... but dont know if they had already turned in their keys and got their deposits back.

Id imagine if you get some wolf piss or some other predator piss they would not want sleep in it.

We had voles in our yard. I had never even heard of them. But when the snow melted in February or March, I saw the yard was torn up and there were these lines (burrows) in the grass as well. Turns out, after I called lawn people, these voles were doing the damage. They look like mice but they live in the ground and eat roots and shit. And no, they are not moles. Those are totally different I guess. I saw one last year when I was doing some yard work and thought it was a mouse or something. They are a ***** to get rid of because once they get in your yard, they **** like crazy until there are 100s.

We had those things. Filled up the holes and cut down the ground cover and it helped. No joke here. A hawk that likes to sit on our deck landed and dropped a dead vole. Voles were gone in a couple of weeks. That was last year and still no voles.

I thought I had some cool bumble bees setting up shop nearby, but it is a bunch of asshole carpenter bees building outside my 3 season room.
Can anyone confirm that this is a carpenter bee?

The guy that came out to our house said that they were a problem last year and this spring. We went the route of putting out traps with bait. I think they are gone now.

I actually read that Fox piss is used to deter them. My first thought was “How the **** am I supposed to get Fox piss” but apparently you can get it on Amazon…go figure….

I legit knew a guy who got fired over fox piss.
Truck centered prank war escalation.
Him and another dude traded punches- tie wraps on the drive shaft, pebbles in hubcaps, grease under door handles, confetti in defrosters....
And my dude dumps a full vial of fox piss in the vents and seat.
Very expensive to dismantle and clean.
Dude lost his job, but the happy end is that he was hired back a couple years later at the previous salary.
