My squirrel and bat hunters.

We knew when we purchased the cabin that it had unwanted visitors, however we did not completely know what we had. We have been working hard to exterminate the rodents, squirrels, and oh yes the bats.


Glade and Kyle could hear scratching around. They got this great idea to bang on the ceiling of the basement. Their theory was to scare what ever it was they could hear. Much to their surprise they found there were two squirrels. They scared one out and had to set a trap for the other. I an not sad to report the demise of Sammy squirrel.



MY HERO!!!!!!
Kyle my squirrel hunter.


That same day Kyle could hear a high pitch noise. He kept looking and looking to see where it was coming from. Well he found what was making the noise. There are bats in the top pitches of the roof.



The bat!!!!!


Before the bat exterminator made his appearance the wildlife decided to visit. These guys can come around anytime they want as long as they stay outside. Cool huh!!!

After several trips and long time researching the best way to get rid of these pests. Glade dons the outfit below and climbs a ladder to get one out of it's happy home. He was successful in getting rid of one. He climbed the ladder and rigged another on the roof so that he could get to the bats hideouts. He blocked the holes with screen and sealed up other openings hopefully he has discouraged re-entry.

Dad... you be careful up on that roof!!! That is way too scary for me! I am glad the visitors will all be gone when I come to visit.
