Michelle - I solved the problem by cutting a board that was about 1/2"
thick (thick enough to fill the gap under the stove) - and sliding it
under the stove.  They were frustrated for a while - trying to figure
out *why* they couldn't fit any more and *WHY* they couldn't get the
board out!
 
Other holes I've found (like the one between the cabinet and the wall) -
I stuffed with aluminum foil.  They don't seem to like putting their
teeth to that very much, and I can sort of mold it to fit the space I
need.
 
The best tip I got for cabinets was from someone here on the list. (sorry -
can't remember who).  Those Tot-locks are perfect!
 
Hope his helps...
