We keep a lot of non-perishables in our garage and the only thing disturbed was a squash and potatoes. Both chewed peeling off and ate a little out of each. No other food stored in garage has been tampered with. I've had rat poison out and blind sets with mouse traps along outer walls. Snapped off traps without a critter caught or dead due to bait. My marriage is hanging in the balance, or at least she is threatening me with such. Any thoughts or advice appreciated on culprit or solution. Thanks in advance!
