Blocking the access, if
feasible, probably renders killing them off superfluous.

In theory, yes. In practice, if denied access to a home they like, they
will make a new access. I had some get in via a loose tile and when that
was fixed, they chewed a new entry in a fascia board within a month.

I applied wire mesh several feet either side of the new entry, trapped
and killed 3 of them. That was a couple of years ago. So far, so good.
