i live in a neighborhood that has lots of these pesky critters. there is a squirrel or squirrels...they all look the same to me and probably taste like chicken...that gnaw on my deck boards, the vinyl tubing on the top of the house that vents the septic system, the shutters,and now this...the battery terminals on an old battery i was going to carry to the recycling center. i know that lead is very poisonous to humans and i hope in this case that this is a lethal dose to the critter.. any thoughts on the possibilities thereof?
