Extermination
January 16, 2008 on 12:32 pm | In My Imagination | 2 CommentsGood news, I think?
Our quarterly visit from the exterminator took place this morning. I told him that there is something running around in our attic, I was thinking it might be mice but it’s hard to tell. I’ve never actually seen the critter, my daughter and I hear it scurrying around above her bedroom in the middle of the night. I’ve also heard it in the daytime when I am in my sewing room which is located next to my daughter’s bedroom.
The exterminator went into the attic today and laid traps and put down bait. The good news? He doesn’t believe it is mice (or rats). He explained that normally, with mice, there will be droppings around the a/c units because they get water from the condensation. He didn’t see any droppings. He noted that they also tend to run the same paths and thereby create a worn path on top of the insulation. He didn’t see any paths. He did go ahead and lay the traps and bait, just in case, but he thinks it may be a squirrel!
A squirrel. I’m not sure if that’s better than a mouse, but I’d like to think so!
