[Shop-talk] Squirels in the attic

[Phil Nase]

Hi John,

Tell your wife the squirrels are nothing but rats with fuzzy tails.  Really
they are just rodents and can cause a lot of trouble when in the home.  

I just got home from visiting my son in Phoenix.  It was our first trip
there and I can say that I've never been that warm before.  Whew! 

In fact I just learned while visiting the Grand Canyon that, at least the
squirrels there, can have fleas that carry the plague.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Squirels in the attic

Hi,

Any tips on getting ground squirels out of our attic? The exterminator guy
put sticky traps up there but my wife doesn't like the idea of killing
squirels. When we thought they were rats she was OK with it but now....

BTW, it's a tile roof in Arizona. The "attic" is really just a crawl space
with blown in insulation so it's really hard to get around up there without
destroying the ceiling. Also, it's really hot here this time of year so
anything we could do without going up there would be good.

TIA,

John
