Hello
Sure, moth balls will keep them away for a while, but how about a permenant solution?
Before the shed was built,, all the sod and grass was removed from under the shed, then weed block installed with 2-3 inches of 3/4" landscape stone on top.
There was no burowing, just alot of leafs dragged under there that were pile up from the stones on the ground all the way up to the shed floor completely blocking the air flow under the shed by this varmint!
The leafs were dry as a bone, so I raked out many and then used a leaf blower to get most of the rest.
Then I got 4 - 12' lengths of 5-1/2" PVC board and installed with the ruff side out.
It will never rot.
Then I got 10 - 5 gallon buckets of stone and filled the area under the shed ramp to prevent any covert action by this little soldier!
Will this keep this guy out? Anyone else have some success keeping the critters out?

Pic 7 - Cut air holes with 2" hole saw for ventilation
Pic 8 - Installed vent with screen behind it.
