Look! Squirrel!

We've been hearing noises in the attic this winter so we had a pest removal company do an inspection a couple weeks ago when we heard some serious movement in the wall.

Four entry points found in the roof, and there was evidence of a squirrel infestation. The holes were patched and a one-way trap placed on an exit to catch anything that might be still living there.

It has been empty.

Until now.

That's one of the evil red squirrels that infest this land. Not a good thing when they get in your attic as they like to chew wires and everything else these evil furry rats can get their teeth into.

Where there's one, there's probably more. Drat.

Yeah, they 'like' electrical wires... sigh

Those from urban settings who grew up feeding those friendly squirrels in Central Park believe that squirrels are cute and cuddly and lovable.


But a better perspective is to say that squirrels are rats with personalities. And in real life, squirrels rarely if ever cooperate with, let alone befriend, mooses.

Yep, no fun at all.

Adding to the insanity, there was one squirrel in there last night, but two were found in the trap this morning.

Cute, but if they violate certain of the rules for peaceful co-existance they need to move on.
