[ale] Critters in the Attic

We have critters in the attic. ?Unfortunately, they don't seem to want to be 
caught by our rat traps (cages sized for Noregian Roof Rats, which we've had 
before). ?So, I assume it's something larger. ?What I really need is to know 
where they're entering the attic, so I can seal it.

But wait you say, this is a Linux list. ?I have an old P133 system that I just 
shut down. ?I had this thought - what inexpensive peripherals could I add 
to this box to help me solve it?

I was thinking I could put the box in the attic (winter fortunately), and put 
a cheap camera on it. ?I'd need some type of flash/strobe, or it would have 
to be an IR-capabel camera (they only seem active at night, so even low-light 
won't help). ?If it's a still-camera, I'd need a motion sensor, though that 
might be good either way.

Suggestions?
David
