Squirrels!!!

Don't let this furry little creature fool you. They can sure cause havoc!! I was in Florida and saw a squirrel come over our roof and 'disappear'. I knew that meant trouble. George arrived and found the hole that it went in. He hammered it closed but wasn't feeling good and didn't hammer it back too hard. The next day he discovered that the squirrel had ripped it back open and went in. This time George hammered it with lots of nails--only 2 squirrels were still inside our attic and running around furiously after they realized their escape route was closed. What to do?? Called the exterminator! He came with 2 traps. We have pull-down stairs to our attic in the garage. So he pulled down the stairs and set one trap at the top of the stairs and the other one on the garage floor. During the day, he said to leave the garage open and hopefully they would either get trapped or go outside. I never heard them again or saw them. I hope they have left. I'm back on Cape Cod as of Sun and he'll check the traps for a few days and see what he finds! Poor Suzanne she had squirrel trouble too, only it was a lot worse than mine. Go to www.suziesmusings.blogspot.com/ and read her story. She was very brave! She tells me she has cleaned every inch of the room and has new bed covers. Let's hope this is the end of our squirrel problems!!!
