Some animals don't like being inside , I have caught a total of 2 chipmunks inside a house , 2 separate jobs. I have caught 3 groundhogs inside a house. 1 at one job , 2 at another job. None of these were in a crawlspace. Just animals that accidently got into the house and couldn't find the way out. NRA benefactor member
