Eliza-- size of the tooth marks in apples. Have had pet mice-- these not mice. Annual attempt to enter, with rats-- usually weather-predictable (farm property). This is just one of the bad years, thanks to the weird weather patterns. Usually there is a week of severe control via cat patrols, and then it's cold enough that they are not mobile and looking here for a warm spot-- they have found one, more cat-free, nearby.
