This is not good.

.

As you know, we have always had a resident red squirrel menace.

.

.

I’m sure this isn’t the original terror from years ago, but one of her numerous demon offspring.

.

.

She teases the cat, poops on the patio furniture…

.

.

Shreds the deck posts, excavates passages through the woodshed walls, chews holes in the man cave/Barn Mahal, burrows into the house eaves and builds nests everywhere to continue her accursed family.

.

.

I know this because…

.

.

We’re knee deep in the destructive little bastards right now.

.

.

Not good!

Not good at all….

😫

We’re doomed.

.

As many of you know, we’ve battled a certain red squirrel in the past.

.

.

She’s chewed holes in our barn, our garage and our wood shed.

.

.

She’s gnawed her way into the eaves of our home and given birth to a large brood we physically had to evict. She attacked my husband when he was cleaning gutters and built a nest in his truck engine, destroying wires that required it to be towed to the repair shop. I could go on, but I think you get the gist.

She’s a menace.

So the other day… when I saw she had a friend?

.

.

I was concerned, but before I could fully process the horror? I saw this…

.

.

Four!

There are now four red menaces in residence.

We’re doomed.

😫

.

The bitch has moved back in!

.

The husband had to move my car, set up the ladder and climb into the garage crawl space to reach the leftover vinyl siding recently.

When he got up there? A surprise.

.

.

There was a suspicious hole in the siding box.

.

.

And nesting material strewn around the opening.

.

.

See all the insulation and stuffing to the left?, in between the rungs of the ladder?

.

.

You know what means.
