maybe the hole in the cabinet is pretty deep so maybe a harmless trap could work and the reason why i dont want to take out the cabinet is bc its near my sink so it might go into plumbing issues and would cost alot to fix srry
Any way you can post a picture of the cabinet? We might be able to help a bit better seeing what you are dealing with.
I think a lot of sink/counter/cabinets are open backed, but that’s just the ones I’ve had I guess.
Taking the whole thing away from the wall shouldn’t be necessary though.
For example: the place my chipmunk crawled into was at the bottom of the cabinet. There was a board across the front under the overhang were the bottom shelf sat. For some reason the board had a 3/4 gap at the top. Now, if the chipmunk didn’t come out on its own we were going to remove that board. It would just need to be done carefully so it wouldn’t get damaged and could be replaced.
No need to remove the entire 6’ long cabinet with the sink and all. That would have been a nightmare.
I do think

idea of using heat is worth trying before anything more drastic.
