Sigh.

They are a real problem here. In fact, I grown a lot of my veggies up
on the deck and The Hub built a barrier so the critter cannot climb up
to it.

They have eaten though wooden fencing, climbed up on high planters,
dug under fences. Wicked, wicked bastiches. We've live trapped them at
times, but it does little good as there are always more to take
stirrer place.
