Do I have a critter in my attic?

[Karen]

A marten is a bird!

And the smallest squirrel, when it is in your walls, can sound elephantine! Definitely get it checked out, before damage is done to insulation and wiring!

No she means a pine marten not a martin bird. They are kind of a tree weasel but bigger.

Sometimes they remind me of mini wolverines

Oh, but caseysmom is in California, so I don't think their range extends that far!

Good luck with whatever it is. That would drive me crazy!

I am wondering if it could be a rat I can't see any large openings anywhere on the roof. I feel bad but I told hubby we may need decon...a few years ago rats got in the engine of my new car and did some damage and I had to resort to that, had one die in the dashboard...that was gross.

I will have to be very careful with the animals if I decide I have to do that.

We have house martens here- not just pine martens. I know that caseysmom will have something different in her attic- I just wanted to add a little bit of intercultural fun
House martens look extremely cute but they are predators and even can get into cars and bite pipes there.
Sorry- didn't want to steal the thread
