I've heard suggestions to use a portable radio to create nuisance noise to keep
critters away.  Only good for the short term I would think.  Is your problem
seasonal or year round?  While there are any number of stations in the greater New
York City area that I find too annoying to listen to the plan could backfire if
you choose the wrong type of entertainment (i.e. one the skunks enjoy).  You might
wind up with a skunk club under there. Anyone know if skunks are Howard and Robin
fans?
