Just had some leaks fixed in my sprinkler system and repairman identified squirrels as the culprit. They left the same teeth marks. They’re looking for water.

You need to use Juicy Fruit gum, not Doublemint

That's a great idea - wish I'd thought of that myself! Thanks.

Looks like a raccoon to me.
They ruin garden hoses. Tip over bird baths. Chew thru PVC pipe. Dump potted plants looking for water and/or earwigs to eat. They fight on the roof at night. And they poop like dogs.... everywhere. And they give you the stink-eye if you stumble on them digging in the yard.
