If Marmite merely keeps them away, think of the havoc VEGEMITE might wreak on the little suckers!

PS. Had a look at the map, Carman - looks like quite a watery wonderland, although by the sound of the nick-name "Winterpeg" I imagine the water is solid a lot of the year.
Brrrrr.
BTW, we had our first rain for some time yesterday and it's now cold - at least down to plus 9 last night.
