I called Joey to remove the squirrels in our attic. During the quote we agreed on setting a live bait trap and sealing the exterior holes into our attic.
Joey rescheduled last minute and was 2 hours late the day after.
He also apparently used poison bait to check for rodent activity the first time he came around during the estimate, which is NOT what you want to do at all. The rodents who eat the poison bait like to find small tight spaces to crawl up and die in. He did not tell me he did that until after he came around the second time and told me there are definitely squirrels because they took the bait. Well, great. I have a few decomposing squirrels between the walls now.
He sealed the holes but told me there were no squirrels in the attic so did not put in a live trap. Well... the next morning we heard a lot of frantic scratching in the living room and found two squirrels. One escaped out the garage door but we have no idea where the other one is. Squirrels are known to cause a lot of damage. We don't know if they chewed a new hole to get from the attic to our home, and if they chewed through our sofa to burrow inside.
Needless to say I am not very happy about this.
Update: We found four squirrels. It took an entire day of herding them, but we got two to leave through the garage and one through the kitchen back door. We don't know where the other one is but we heard it through the walls.
Joey came by a few days later to put up a live trap in the attic. I'll give him an additional star for trying to make it right, but honestly, I would not give him repeat business. read more
