Midland Life : Squirrels

Living in a near-rural area brings with it a variety of animals and birds that you just do not get in the city. Of late we have been hearing scampering activity in our roof and bits an pieces of insulation at the corners of our house.

Upon a call to the critter experts, their diagnosis is that we have a squirrel preparing their nest for the winter. Out come the traps then to catch them!

As you can see, it is a cage with a lever with food on it when pressed will close the trap door. The squirrel can then be safely removed to a forest far far away from us.


They have already trapped one squirrel, but we are still hearing the noises. Today I saw one this little guy running around who could be the one in our roof.
