Good news is: They're gone.


I discovered how they were getting in.


I would still keep looking. These guys are pretty resourceful about
exploiting the smallest hole and enlarging it.


I've gone around the entire house looking for entry ways. Found none
other than the hole going under the 5 seasons porch. Checked soffets
using binoculars and can't see anything other than one small hole that
I had already patched.

The fact that I haven't had any repeat customers is encouraging.
For the past week or so they have been very active up there, especially
from about 9 pm and all night long until morning. It has been nice to
get a decent night's sleep.



I am not sure about now but when I was in Maryland, the red squirrels
were protected and you couldn't take them at all.


According to Wiki, they are not under any conservation concern other
than in Arizona where their numbers have been diminishing since 1987.
