We just live in harmony with critters. Our just shy of an acre place is heavily wooded with a small drainage creek at the very back. We have 14 different varieties of native trees in the back, some over sixty feet tall which is unusual for our area. Squirrels abound, lizards, a few snakes, turtles, possums and a family of fox come by to visit occasionally. Last winter a racoon had a great den under part of a deck. We don't bother them and the only thing we normally trap is a skunk every few years. A couple of cats come to visit at night and take care of some field mice, I assume. I squirrel proofed our soffit vents years ago and they don't bother us. We just enjoy their antics. We figure they were all here before we were.
Areas around us have become densely developed and have driven out and destroyed habitat for a lot of critters. No longer do we see deer, bobcats or coyotes around our place.
Since the PC is stored in a clear area a few miles from our home, we are OK on that using our Tomcat blocks or pellets if needed.
