Janey, out of interest I assume that yous squirrels are grey squirrels?

Ah, I figured. ;)

I just like the "call the council!" mentality. It's so refreshingly different from the US mentality of everybody always being afraid that if there's any actual public service being provided, somebody will get something they're not getting, so everyone for themself and devil take the hindmost.

It could be squirrels nesting as they love living in lofts,amd they do make a racket when they run around.

Janey,
The councils don't gert rid of Mice nevr mind Squirrels.

Everyone has to get rid of the vermin themselves.

We have squirrels. I feed them at my second-floor office window, then they go next door to our house and run riot in the attic.

Actually, the attic is the bedroom -- I converted it 15 years ago, it being the main reason I'd bought this old house, and I realized it had been 10 years and I had done nothing with it. The third half-storey has a barn roof so it's very roomy. But down both sides there is space in behind where a wall has been dropped to square it off, about 3 feet high, with the space behind it running the depth of the house, about 35 feet. As do the squirrels. Run the depth of the house. Repeatedly.

My sister has mice in the attic of her 10-yr-old house. She no longer has an overhead light in her fancy en suite bathroom. If the squirrels get busy in mine, we'll have no heat on the third floor, because that's where the wiring for the electric baseboard heaters runs ...

I don't want to think what it will cost if we decide to get the pros in to seal it up, which we would have to do.

Sometimes I wish we lived in England. When they got squirrels in their lofts on Coronation Street, they all just called the council!

Put yout head up and make a noise like a piece of cheese, if you get eaten... its mice pmsl.

I remember my Dad telling one of my sons. ..If they wanted to catch a rabbit, they had to lye in the grass and make a noise like a carrot. When the rabbit went to eat them they had to grab it. The reply was what kind of noise do carrots make Grandad lol

not so sure Bob, its that damp up there you need a rubber suit on.

well its unlikely to be Piranha.....

its spring, what happens, the birds get frisky, start looking for nesting places, you can bet your life its sparrows or starlings in your loft dear.

Better not be ghosties... I'd have to call the vicar..
