That will work. Also tie knots every few inches in a large plastic
trash bag and hang from the ceiling by a clothes hanger over a
trash can lid full of water and light it and play hard rock music.
The plastic burns and makes cool noises when the melted plastic
falls into the water. Have a few drinks before and it's better.
Your mice and squirrels will run screaming from the house.

So will the people, to stand and watch as their house burns to the
ground.
