I’ve got a bunch eating holes in my deck structure. I’ve built a trap, but none have ever gone in it. I’d rather avoid sprays. I’ve read I could spray the holes with a lemon juice concentrate. I posted a picture of the trap I go through but it doesn’t really work.
Ive heard you can take a nice big block of cedar and drill a bunch of starter holes all over and hang it up away from you house and encourage they move residence. Hang a few up. I’ve never tried this, but it seems somewhat practical especially long term. Just give em somewhere nicer to live, pretty sure they like cedar etc soft woods.
