Bats in the belfry? Naw, it is just squirrels!



Craziness abounds!!
Kim and Dave have found that they
have some unwanted guests in the
eaves and attic of their house -
a group of lovely squirrels!


The pack seems to have just moved
in but are already wreaking havoc!
An exterminator was called -
who hung live traps. The first
day he caught 3.
Since then Dave has emptied
some of the traps himself. This weekend
Dave went out and purchased some
traps of his own to actually put
into the attic - Kim does not enjoy the
sound of pitter-pattering feet
over the kitchen sink!

Last week Kim found one of the squirrels
sitting on top of the cage. When he
saw her he stood up and walked into
(or squeezed into) the eave of the house.

Tonight when she got home from work the
cute little darling had moved from the south
end of the house to the north end.
Again he looked at her and walked into his
new abode - poked his head out
and seemed to chipper at her -
"Hello, now this is my house too!"

I wonder if throwing some nice smelly
moth balls into the attic would help them
decide to move on to their next
destination???

We had that a couple years ago and it actually got into our main floor also. Did they find the spot where they are coming in at? Rob found it by our chimney. It is kind of creepy that is for sure.

Definately find out where and how they are getting in and then block it....You want to remove them alive.... imagine if one fell into a crevice in a wall and then died... the aroma would be unbearable!....and you sure don't want them chewing a passageway and coming into the house!!!! What about an owl that hoots.... maybe it would scare them off????
