I am having a problem with something getting into my greenhouse at night and eating my fig cuttings down to the nubs! It is also eating my plastic containers? what is it? I checked the perimeter of the greenhouse and found a tiny opening. It's too small for raccoons to get in, are rats the probable culprits?

    I'd guess mice. They can squeeze through openings of a mere fraction of an inch. – user1469762 Dec 10 '20 at 13:06
  • Good question; if could include more details, including clearances around the door(s) when closed, any sorts of marks on the figs & containers, if the ceiling is enclosed, and dimensions of the hole you found, could also be helpful.

I would recommend using cayenne pepper, sprinkling that should solve your problem. Harmless and effective
