A two cute infestation
May 18th, 2011
A break from all this serious work for … TREE RATS!
Yesterday I was patrolling the curtilage perimeter with the sheps, and heard a noise and saw a flicker. So I stopped, and in a hard to see place above the back door, oh my… this is a PROBLEM… first I see the hole, and then one head, I stood frozen as Summer went bonkers, and then out pops another… I thought the wasps were bad, but these guys have chewed a hole in the side of the house and are nesting… great… but they are cute! How do I get them out of there without killing them? Live trap and then haul them way up to the top of the bluff??? Install a one way cat door? Get a crane and hoist Summer-pup up onto the ledge over the door? I really detest squirrels!
$50 says they’re progeny of that one who comes over to the full view door off my office, waves its tail, and does a little dance for the dogs…
