My house was.infested with them this fall. Cute but very intrusive and messy. Ive heard some folks keep them as pets.
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.
I realize they can seem pesky to some but.....
had a bird feeder outside next to the window...with nuts and seeds. My cats discovered a little guy "flew in" nightly to enjoy the nuts, perching on the feeder.
Most every night of winter, we enjoyed watching him...
When one flies past your head to/from your children's bunkbeds, pesky is usually prefaced by "#@$*!"
I counted six flying squirrels on our porch the other night. My wife feeds them peanuts.
