I received a couple of comments from people who didn’t like the dead squirrel pictures I posted earlier… so here is a photo of happy squirrel the automatic trail cam took.

Thursday, March 11th, 2010Expecting to trap a mouse, I was surprised to find a dead southern flying squirrel in a glue trap in my garage. A total of two squirrels were discovered. Their point of entry was chewing through the soffit.
The good news is that the squirrels are eliminated and the soffit is repaired. If you’re looking for service in the Front Royal, VA area, I highly recommend Dolly’s Home Improvement. In addition to repairing the soffit, they also fixed our gutter that was damaged by an ice dam. I’m glad to have the gutter functional ahead of heavy rains expected over the next couple of days.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009Sometimes, I enjoy watching squirrels. They are amazing little acrobats with incredible balance. Last year, however, I was having a real problem with squirrels gnawing on the house and damaging my car. Pesky rodents can be a serious problem, one not to be ignored. Squirrels have even started fires by chewing on electrical wires.
I bought a tube trap that has been very effective. After two squirrels were killed, I have had no further problems with squirrel damage. Knock on wood.
