I posted the video of the Bird that was driving me crazy, after getting shot at by a few tennis balls every time he came to visit, I think the Bird has decided to bother someone else. But, not that the Bird is gone, we now have a new problem, apparently some squirrels have decided to make a home in our attic.
Our pest control company recommended a local company, who came out, eyeballed the nest and decided it was going to cost us $4,000 to remove the squirrels and fix up our roof-line to insure that it wouldn't happen again.
Well, I wasn't so thrilled about the thought of paying $4k to remove some squirrels, so I went on to Angie's List, a service where you can find just about any service person and see unbiased ratings from others who have used the service. On Angie's List I found a company that was well recommended who is removing the Squirrels for $375. To be fair, they did recommend some other fixes to the roof, some needed now, and others as more future prevention. The other company only gave me one option, $4k.
So now there are squirrel traps on my roof and in my attic. They leave them open (un set) for a few days to let the squirrels get comfortable getting food from them for a few days, and then set them to catch them. I was able to get some pictures today, enjoy! (click on one to see it close-up).
