they’re returning because it’s easier to find food in your house than in the wild. I’d suggest keeping your bin empty, sealing off bags of food, and just generally not allowing them to eat in your place. If you remove their source of food/water, they most likely won’t come back

Been doing all these things. They chew through sealed packages, bin is always empty, so I am stumped as to what they are eating here. We live in a city, so it’s not like we’re the only option, but our landlord won’t seal the holes in the house up so I’ve been assuming we’re just the most accessible warm location on the block.

  Shame it requires an account. Doubt they don’t do some heavy data tracking like every other similar app
