Squirrel Problems
7 years ago
General
Some may have noticed I've been acting rather odd or highly irritable the last week or two. I figured I best explain that.
For a few months, I'd been hearing an unusual amount of activity from squirrels, since I live on the second floor; may have even mentioned them on voice calls or livestreams. I always thought it was odd as they had never been that active on my side of the house because there are no trees on this side.
About two weeks ago, we finally realized why I was hearing so much noise. It wasn't coming from outside but rather INSIDE the house. I'd call it an attic but we don't really have an attic due to how this house was built. And the noises have been getting progressively worse; louder and more frequent. Keeping me from sleeping and having the peace I usually have being in my room.
Last night we plugged the hole they've been getting in and out of. We are hoping one of the at least 3 up there will go into a trap we've tried laying. I think at this point its either hope they go to the trap or we'll just leave them up there to starve to death.
So today, its almost like listening to a hailstorm every few minutes with them running around, or scratching, sounding like a deeper pitched version of fingernails on a chalkboard. I feel like my eyes are twitching hearing that, sometimes over my headphones I have on.
For those who don't know, I have very sensitive hearing. Going to a music concert for example would be agonizingly painful.
Hopefully this only lasts one more week as I'm going out of my mind. T_T
