So, I finally got out of my cockroach infected dorms. Me and my girl found a little rent house, signed a 1 year lease, 295 a month! Great deal! Its well insulated, its in the shade, nice neighbors, stays cool inside, perfect for me and her. Carpet has a little bit of a musky smell, but its all good. Here is my new found problem. The past few nights, and even as I sit here, something has been scratching and clawing at my ceiling. It scuttles around too. I'm afraid its a squirell, because they are all over the place here, and I'm worried its going to scratch a hole in my ceiling, or start a big den up there. We have contacted the landlord and he said check for holes in the ceiling. I'm honestly pissed now because if there is a hole, its already too fkn late. Idk, it sounds creepy as hell, and i have seen WAY too many horror movies lol. any opinions on what i should do? Wait it out? Or let the critter chill in my attic? LOL...

here is your biggest issues.. If it's mice they LOVE chewing on electrical wire and making burrows in the attic..

PLaces to look:

CHECK YOUR ATTIC VENTS WHICH SHOULD BE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE whoops sorry7 bout the caps

if they are coming in through there, put some chicken wire over it and set up a few traps with peanut butter and or peanuts.

also check your eves.. which is the very bottom of the roof, they also use this as point of entry. use the same method as stated ..

look for any chewed wires.. electrical fires and mishaps are very common because of chewed wires.
