For a couple of weeks Lindsey has mentioned a noise coming from her ceiling. She said it sounded like an animal of some sort moving around perhaps in it's nest with it's young. Well, we decided to investigate the situation. Cameron got on his full-body poopy suit from his Navy days and ventured off into the attic. Laura was outside of the house armed with the camera pointed directly at the wooden louvers where the varmint might make his escape. A coat hanger was shoved through the wall and twisted around in hopes to stir up the nest. Cameron came back down from the attic and decided to pound on the wall to scare them out. When he returned back to the attic he said "Charlie, go get your momma and tell her to bring the camera!" Below is the picture of what he first saw..........
Here's Cameron tackling the situation....
We ended up getting all of them out and sealing up the space with wire mesh. It stunk so bad of bat guano and urine so we gutted that whole area of the insulation which they totally destroyed while burrowing in it. It has been pretty nasty to say the least but we are glad that we didn't wait any longer. My neighbor informed us that a house just down the street had to be completely gutted out because of a bat infestation! YUK! So if you hear something in your ceiling or walls you might want to check it out. It could be that you're going batty. :0)
