Ditto on the squirrels. Can you enclose under the BBQ with chicken wire or hardware cloth?

Put a rat trap baited with peanut butter under the BBQ where they can get to it. If it doesn't kill them, it'll give them a sore nose! Wrap some cotton string around the trigger and tie it tight. Mash the peanut butter into the string. They might be able to get the peanut butter off of the metal trigger without setting off the trap, but if they try to chew the string it'll trip the trap.
