I will let you know what my results are. Moth balls...not sure it works outside, but it might not damage the paint like this stuff seems like it might.
FWIW I was able to evict a raccoon from my attic via mothballs. The downside was a couple of days with a mothball smell wafting out through the hatch. YMMV.
I've used mothballs (with indifferent success) to keep squirrels from digging up potted plants, but I'm not sure if they work beyond a few inches. BTW mothballs are toxic - I mean the squirrels won't eat them or anything, but I don't think shoveling 40 lbs of them inide your walls would be a good idea either. I think they will eventually dissolve in the rain outside.
