When I bought my house a little over two years ago, unbeknownst to me, it came with tenants.<\/p>\n

\"small_4053123799\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Squirrels.<\/p>\n

Now, thankfully, squirrels have no tenants’ rights, especially when they aren’t paying rent and seem to destroy their living spaces by turning wires into nesting material.<\/p>\n

So I had them evicted.<\/p>\n

Two years later, I’m pretty convinced they’re back.<\/p>\n

They’re sneaky little buggers, so I haven’t heard them in the attic yet, but I’ve noticed a lot of squirrels climbing up the side of the house (straight up the brick!) and there’s also a bit of insulation in my front yard. \u00a0I’d say those are signs.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the last eviction probably wasn’t done properly. \u00a0It was done by the seller’s agent during the closing process, so they probably did the bare minimum. \u00a0No luck this time, squirrels.<\/p>\n

Of course, I am a total sucker, so I found a pest control company that specializes in animals (instead of bugs) and that simply traps and relocates rather than kills the squirrels. I know they’re just big rats with tails, but I don’t want to kill them! \u00a0I just want them to live somewhere other than in my attic.<\/p>\n

So for now, it’s squirrel trappin’ time. \u00a0Unless I can convince them to pay rent and not build their nests out of my electrical wires. \u00a0Then they are welcome to stay.
