Exterminators in the N.O. area - large rodents in the attic (3-month update: Rats gone!)


I don't think I'm smart enough to follow you here :stupid:

But, no, I haven't seen them.

...

An update:

BugPro talked to me about this for a few minutes, asking for a lot of details. In the end, they said that if we're hearing activity during the day (and yes, much more active during daylight hours), they pretty positive it's specifically squirrels in our attic. Not rats or mice or raccoons, but squirrels.

So OK. BugPro refused the job because they don't do wildlife -- just rats and mice. Turns out most name exterminators are the same way. Have to find a company that specialized in wildlife removal. Called three - one was too busy, the second would call back to make an appointment, and the third is coming by in the morning.

Anyone have any idea of what this could cost? I'm 99% sure this is not going to be clearing a dozen squirrels out of the attic. If it's more than two, I'll be surprised. We don't hear them in multiple rooms at once. But then ... what the eff do I know?

You can get squirrel traps on Amazon for $25. Maybe grab a couple. But also you need to figure out how they're getting in and close it up.
