Wondering what did this? Chewing

hubby went out to close the coop windows as it’s crazy windy tonight and caught the culprit in action...a rat:(. Gotta get a trap...would love to use a .22 but alas just too close to neighbors and in a very democratic state
 
View attachment 1540168 have some new chewing type marks on our coop/run...we are in western MA and pretty rural. Have a # of predators including skunks, foxes, opossums, and deer to name a few I have personally seen...wondering who did this...my coop is pretty secure with hardware cloth bottom secured and buried and all hardware cloth sides...don’t believe they can breach but want to know if there is maybe something else?

I hate it when deer get my chickens. I liked that cayenne pepper comment, I would definitely do that, it sound hilarious, I will have to start mixing cayenne pepper in with my live trap bait just to mess with the predators.
