Uninvited Critter(s)

We awoke at 4 am to hear a sound. There is something in the wall. Is it a flying squirrel? A mouse? Something even more scary?

It seems that it was either in the front wall of the house, or perhaps even under the floor of the second floor. It was scratch scratch scratching away. It makes me wonder if that busted electrical outlet was actually caused by some critter gnawing. Grrrrr.....

So today Jake will break out the traps and head to the attic. Stay tuned for more updates.

  1. Good luck, Jake. Going into battle against the elusive, wild animals that were apparently able to sneak by the ever vigilant Mr. Carter.

  2. I heard animal feet on my roof in the middle of the night two weeks ago and when I looked out into the back yard, there were three raccoons running around. I put a radio tuned to loud rock music in the closet opening to the attic now at night hoping to keep them from coming in now that the weather is turning colder. It worked a few years ago.

  3. Hopefully it's not the flying squirrels returning to settle the score from last year. Of course this time, you have additional help in the form of one tough dog: Mr. Carter.
