Freeloaders

Well, now for this week.  I guess it was last week.  We had rodents in our attic, which woke us up last Sunday night.  I heard scratching and wasn't sure if it was outside.  Brian looked and saw nothing, so I figured that it was coming from in the wall.  Well, Brian being the paranoid person he can be, decided to call the cops, just to make sure.  So they came and of course found nothing outside-DUH, I told you that the sound was in the ceiling!

So, tried to go back to sleep and would call pest control in the AM.  Orkin man said that if we could hear scratching it was probably a squirrel need to call animal control.  Animal control came out and went in the attic, after fixing the step that broke as he stepped on it, and said that there was bat poop, somehow knew that there was a flying squirrel up there, and possibly rats/mice.  So, the nice man put a trap up there to get the squirrel, and bait for the mice.  He also put a out only door by the hole they most likely came in from, in case anything was still in the attic that he didn't see.  And he would be back in 3-4 days.

He came back on Friday.  He took out he EMPTY trap from the attic, didn't see anything up there, and permanently sealed the hole in the roof.  So, we are hopefully rodent free! (Knock on wood)
