crap! Squirrel in my attic!!

[guyver01]

I hear scratching and stuff... i think the body i put up there a few weeks ago is dead, so it cant be that

what do you use to get rid of Squirrels? bombs? explosives? poison gas? traps?

i've never done this before

We used traps in my uncle's attic. Took them about 10 miles away and let 'em go.

It could be mice, rats, bats, anything.

<DIV>I just went through this recently with a house I bought. They didn't let me know there were already tenants in the attic. We originally bought live traps and caught the critters and released them out of town, then sealed the hole they were entering the house through. That only sort of worked as other squirrels that knew about our attic proceeded to dig there way through the cedar walls of our house. We were going to need to seal the wood again at a cost of about $4000. We looked into a lot of option and finally, reluctantly went with insulated vinyl siding. They have come a long way with siding.

When they were putting up the siding, we found that we also had a wood pecker living in one of the walls of our house & wasps in the attic as well. We have had our siding for about 4 months and have had no problems with critters. We can finally sleep through the night without having the new-born squirrels living in the wall by our bedroom or the ones scampering in the attic waking us up all of the time.

Traps work ok, but they can take a while. The hardest part is sealing your house in a way that will keep them out. Trimming back all of the trees at least 10' from your house helps a lot too.

Good luck!</DIV>

If it's mice, remember they LOVE peanut butter .. smother some on some mouse traps and get those sticky glue traps as well.

What's a witt?

guyver, ever see the movie The Great Outdoors? One scene with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd and a bat you need to see. That's your viewing assignment for how to handle this situation.

Did you see Chrismas vacation? Nothing bad could happen from having the squirrel in your house.

 

[UNCjigga]

this is just BEGGING for a parody thread...

"Can't crap! Squirrel in my ass!!" comes to mind:

I keep scratching and stuff... i think the squirrel i put up there a few weeks ago is dead, so it cant be that

what do you use to get rid of Squirrels? laxatives? explosive gas? traps?

i've done this before

 

[Schadenfreude]

Be a man. Use a shotgun.

Make sure that you don't shoot downwards/there's no one else home at the moment.
