I have squirrels in my eaves

^ me and

Not to worry OP, she has better things to do. Liberated of her charges she will have her tail up and twitching for some new squirrel dick.

They must be after your very fragrant nuts.

Only if you're the pup daddy, OP.

She'll probably find a way to kill you....eventually. You'll just never know when she plans to seek revenge.

Ooooh, you're in trouble now, OP. Mother is going on a rampage. Prepare your will.

Can I have your stuff, OP?

I thought this said, “I have squirrels in my EARS.”

Why do they always look like unhappy squirrels?

Do you suppose I could keep the babies and raise them as comfort animals?

Ask the pest control guy about that possibility. If there are babies inside & they die, that would smell bad, I'd think.

OP, do you also have fairies at the bottom of your garden?

Certainly not. The gnomes would never tolerate such trash.

I keep reading this as "squirrels in your eyes" and keep worrying for you, OP.

Hope the squirrels are well. We send our love.

Me too, R14. How odd. I wonder what that means?

OP, see an Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor and an Opthomologist, just in case.

OP, you can train squirrels to be friendly, but you can’t domesticate them as pets.

OP, I have clouds in my coffee. Can your man help me with that?

Wait until you wake up one night and she has eaten out one of your eyeballs, you'll be sorry then.

Tell us what the pest control guy looks like.

Don't lie, OP. The pest man is there for your crab infestation

Squirrels. Death.

R19 this is beginning to sound like a cheesy (yes, there's no other kind) 70s porno.

"Repairman here!"

At least you don't have bats in the belfry.

Better you than me. I have asbestos.

Well, OP, at least they’re not in your head, or your pants, you know, the usual and customary place where you have your nuts...

All About Eaves.

R26, meet R9.

Oh, so THAT'S what they call it these days.

** hands OP a bottle of RID **

Your ceiling will be soaked with squirrel piss if you don't act soon (it smells terrible). Also squirrels can eat through wiring. At one point, in one place I lived, the squirrels tried to break into my apartment through the a/c vent. I fucking hate squirrels.

OP, if your squirrels are Eastern Grays and you're below the Mason-Dixon Line, they may have had their first seasonal mate and could have already birthed a litter, however, in more northerly US and Canadian regions the first mate will occur in the next two weeks so there's time to install a one-way door without killing the kits.

My neighbors, a lovely lesbian couple with a sweet Guatemalan baby, almost lost their beautiful arts and crafts 1910 home in a raging attic fire started by squirrels gnawing on electrical wires. Thankfully, the home was subsequently restored but at tremendous expense.

This guy is a busy little beaver. When you enter the house, below, they all go inside and stare out at you, so all you see are eyes.

Cheeky little bastards.

I may be in time then, R30. Thanks for the info.

The work is done. I can hear the squirrel trying to get back in. How long will she keep this up? The entry hole is right above my bed.

“Squirrels in the eaves” sounds like an old-fashioned way of saying crazy. “Pay no attention to Grandpa. He’s got squirrels in the eaves.”

Can we make this the new way of calling out trolls here on DL?

Be my guest.

They die in your walls and smell really horrible. And the smell lasts for a VERY long time. Whatever room it's in reeks for weeks, if not months It's happened to me more than once. Some people have the wallboard removed to clean it up.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

OP, squirrel mamas are like crack/meth whores. They can drop a litter, get distracted, and move on. no problem

R37–that’s why we installed a one-way escape tunnel.

How are they in your eaves and why do you need a tunnel? Aren't your eaves exterior?

OP, if its not noo late, you put an extra loud radio or two on your attic. Blast momma outta there with her kids.

Been there. Done that. It works. Kids go too. Screw the death squad.

R40, on my house the eaves move and connect the outside to the interior attic. The panels are like little doors to the attic.

There is space outside the attic proper, behind the fascia. Like where the arrow is below. Not sure what it’s called.

Baby squirrel?

It’s “beaver of bad news”.

If they die in the walls or ceiling, there is a smell for a while and then they dry out and there is no more smell.

I'm surprised if there is attic access, the company (or you) isn't trapping with a Hav-A-Heart trap and hauling far, far away (like over a river and across railroad tracks, etc.) and releasing. Yes, they home, but there are limits.

Or just drop the trap in a trash can full of water (a priest told me that once).

it was not in the attic, it was in the space under the eave,

I believe trap and release is illegal in NJ
