My war without ordnance proceeds quietly. For the past week, my hobby has been watching to see if the bushy-tailed critters were feasting on sunflower seeds. Not only were they feasting they were sating themselves. Luckily, I saw exactly how they were breaking through my defenses. As suspected, the squirmy critters were wiggling their bodies between and around all the barriers I had put in place. Today, I stuffed the opening between the stove pipe and the wooden post with styrofoam. Luckily, I found a sheet of the stuff in my shop that was over an inch thick. I cut off two inch wide strips and stuffed it into the pipe as a block. Now, I go back into surveillance mode again.
