Mothballs and ammonia
Mothballs are a pesticide that is not approved for wildlife use and can harm people and pets. Animals tend to ignore the smell or return when it fades.
Ultrasonic devices and lights
Ultrasonic devices have little proven effect. Animals get used to flashing lights and noise in days.
What works
Removing the animals, sealing every entry with steel and fixing what attracted them is what works.
