Do you have stray or wild animals outside your STRs?
I've got a lot of stray cats around my places. I tried trapping some there were around my apartments. I used a box trap. My maintenance guy saw coyotes going into the traps and stealing the bait. Their body is longer than a cat, so the door of the trap wouldn't close.
So I put these lines up on my Craigslist ad:
New for 2020, all houses now have indoor plumbing and an outdoor cat^.
Feel free to take outdoor cat^ with you when your work is done here.
Really, I mean it. Take the cat^ with you.
^Outdoor cat may be substituted by stray dog, rabbit, hawk, squirrel, coyote^^ or fox^^.
^^Coyote or fox only at apartments, not at houses.

Bears. Lots of bears. Raccoons (was showing a cabin last weekend and there was a raccoon on the back deck). Skunks. Coyotes, deer, etc. Rattlesnakes. My housekeeper sent me a photo yesterday of a bear she practically tripped on when she walked out of a cabin the other day, LOL
