Looks like we got a critter in our attic, The Admiral woke me and we both heard the sound of little feet over our heads.
Looking for recommendations for pest removal. Thanks |

Had that problem at another house. I figured that the visitors would leave the hot Florida attic during the day to eat and drink so after finding the access point under and overhang I waited for the, what turned out to be 2 squirrel to go to lunch and I sealed the access hole.

hear it all the time and it might be a rat, only at night could be a squirrel, or is it the other way around. One is more active al the time than the other.

I wish you better luck than I had many years ago in South Florida. My little feet turned out to be a Skunk. This type of skunk is sometimes called a Florida Civic cat and is much smaller than a reg. skunk and smells just as bad. I set a trap to catch it and did but he got out before I could remove it the next morning. He was smart enough to not get into the trap again so I needed to build a new trap that he didn't recognize. My new trap worked but when it went off he sprayed the attic and the whole house smelled of skunk. After removing him I went to the local grocery store and bought them out of air fresheners. I have no idea how he got in there or what he ate, but it was a terrible experience.

Another though after our critter invasion.
A real heads up for all the snow birds-make sure your house is critter proof. If your house gets invaded by a rat, squirrel , etc. in your attic, while your away, you will have a real problem when you get back. Also , ask your home watch person to inspect the attic on a periodic basis. |

In Michigan long, long ago, a chipmunk came in through a walkout-level window and took up residence under our teenage son's bed. Eventually the smell caused him to clean up his room. I do not recommend this method of room-cleaning encouragement.
Just a little off-topic Christmas Story...
