Good morning! It's NOT Monday!
Had squirrels in the attic. Could hear the scampering and scratching at night, And they went up and down the insides of walls as well. Called a pest control guy out. Said DO NOT do the poison thing because of the resulting odiferous eminations. So hired the guy.
First he went around and closed up and sealed all the places they could possibly gain enterance making the house squirrel proof. Then he installed a lengthed of PVC pipe to one of the eave vents making what looked like a fun slide for the squirrels. Said it was easy out with no re-entry. Guaranteed the house would be squirrel free within a week and he would be back in a month to retrieve the slide and seal it up.
For the next coupld of weeks had the weirdest thing. Squirrels would scamper around on the window screens. Never seen that before. They were looking for a place to get back in. Then sure enough after a couple of weeks...No more squirrels or noises in the attic and walls.
Friends in Austin had raccoons in their attic. Did hire an exterminator until after I told them about my squirrel eviction. They and just not thunk of calling a pest control service.
