we had them once, we thought they were bowling on the night shift!
the one i saw shinnying up the 4" house corner molding of our clapboard
house had to be stopped with a sheet metal 18" barrier he couldn't
shinny past.
overhanging tree branches were the primary route to the chew-thru
behind the gutter above the 2nd floor.
they are very hard to evict, the longer you wait the more they will
stink up the house if part of the litter dies.
forget about mothballs, hire the local trapper. get started asap:

They can easily climb one of the Chimneys to the roof. So sealing the
entries (once I find them) is a more viable option. They were stealing the
rocks from around the pond all summer, so I expect to find a bed of stones
eventually.
