Something in my attic making noises....It's a Nest of Squirrels!

[bloom_ss]

One of my friends had an infestation of fruit bats in her attic once. And I don't just mean a couple of bats either...there were hundreds of them! They had to call someone to come get them out. Hope you are able to find out what's up there and get rid of it easily!

Take it from an animal rescuer, whatever it is will happily chew through your insulation, wiring, and such, and you have a good chance of your house burning down. I'd get it checked pronto.

I think I'd rather have anything up there than squirrels. It took me a year to get rid of the little b&#%rds. Finally, I ended up putting heavy 1" welded wire over all openings PLUS 6 inches past the edges of the openings. They could not get out. They got really thirsty. One day I loosened a section and two came out as I watched (I thought there was one). Closed it back up and thought that was it... But there was another up there. I put a live trap up there with a bowl of water in it. Took another 2 days for it to be trapped. They chewed sheet rock, peed and poo'd in the insulation, chewed some rafters, even some electrical lines. Why they didn't make a mess of the junk stored up there, God only knows. I tried the moth balls, Ammonia, trap, closed up the openings a few times and they just chewed around them (which is why I put so much extra wire on that last time). Even tried a rat trap. One thing I never tried, and never will, is poison. I don't want them dying up there!

I vote for a chupacabra.

My uncle in Houston had a goodly number of Cotton Mouth snakes living in his attic. Not good. Had to hire a professional to get them out, then they put the little deal that makes a noise most humans can't hear and hasn't had any since.
