[RP TownTalk] Help with squirrel

[Amy Rogers]

I work as a dispatcher for animal control and when people call to complain about critters in their attics, walls, or crawlspaces we always recommend they call Humane Wildlife Services. They evaluate the situation to find entrance locations, humanely evict the animal, and patch up the holes. Any handyman can patch up a hole, but if there is an animal that is making a habit of coming in and out of the attic, it is probably for a reason. The animal could be nesting, which means you could have a whole family of critters living with you soon, if not already! If you have the holes filled in while the animal is still inside, it will either die and start to smell or tear up your attic trying to escape and possibly make a brand new hole in order to do so.  here is the info:Humane Wildlife Services866-948-6263http://www.humanesociety.org/animal_community/shelters/humane_wildlife_services.html I think they are located in Gaithersburg and service DC and Maryland. Good luck! Amy

Subject: [RP TownTalk] Help with squirrel

Hello Riverdalians (is that what we're called?),
I'm hoping you can help my wife and me with what we think is a squirrel in our attic. It's in and out at various times and we're not sure where it's getting in. My balance is not good enough to get up on the roof to find out and the access panel to the side of the attic the squirrel gets in is too small for me to fit through.
We're hoping to hire a handyman to figure out where the squirrel is getting in and patch the hole up.
Would anyone have a recommendation for a handyman (or woman) that they've used and were satisfied with?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
With warm regards for Riverdale,Pat and Abby
