I could have had a reality show with all the rodents I did battle with in my Proctor house. I couldnt keep up.
A few type of squirrels, chipmunks and bats. The bats were the easiest to extract, the sight of squirrels and chipmunks still induce PTSD

We've had bats. They are easy. You just wait until the fall when the little ones are old enough to fly. Stand outside and count them for a week. Go up during the day, put plastic sheeting so they can fly out but not back in. Count them to make sure they all get out, then close up the opening permanently. Then we get to enjoy watching which neighbor's house they move into. It's an endless process in our neighborhood. They're good for keeping the bug count down. Darn shame we can't get them to live in the woods instead of houses.

When one flies past your head to/from your children's bunkbeds, pesky is usually prefaced by "#@$*!"

The little flying squirrel is so cute. I've not seen one before. Thanks.

I counted six flying squirrels on our porch the other night. My wife feeds them peanuts.
