She has tried to plug up the holes using bricks, but they still continue to show up, she told News12.

“I decided that maybe I should try to catch them,” she told CBS2. “I don’t know if this cage is sufficient. I think that maybe it’s a little too small. We have to be very careful not to get ourselves bitten and have a bigger problem.”
