I have to admit, my solution might not have been the smartest thing to do, but here goes.
My attic is more like a crawl space and not very attractive. Last night was my first time venturing up there since I bought this house three years ago. Getting up there was the hardest part and I'm suprised my fat behind fit through the opening. Halfway in, I get this vision of getting stuck and having some critter attack me. I did'nt have a tennis racket, but I took one of my badmitten rackets just in case it wanted to play.
I prepared a peanut butter suprise and strategically placed a couple of treats as a house warming for my new attic dweller. I crawled around a little trying to find how it got in. I couldn't see an opening, but it was dark outside so I'm sure I just missed it.
My plan is to go up and check daily for any remains. I don't want anything rotting up there.
I didn't hear anything last night and I still have no clue as to what this thing is.
I feel better having done something proactive. This was better than doing nothing at all right? I mean, I had to do something, I couldn't just get out of the way and ignore it, right? Right???
Right???

BTW, Spiders live up there too and none of them looked like Lillie.
Wow, I do not know if you will find it but I bet you will see the house warming gift missing. Good luck with you unwanted guest. And yes I think it was a good idea to do that. Very brave of you Manny.
Hi Manny.
I say get rid of the beasties now.
You'll be so much happier once they're gone. And tapping and scratching noises in the night isn't cool.
Have a lovely wednesday.
Wanna bet that its either a mouse or a bat? 2 nights ago my grandson asked me to come downstairs. I went to the door and peered down. I saw what looke like a mouse sitting there at the bottom of the steps and he didnt seem to be going anywheres fast. So I slid my butt down sideways to the bottom step and yet the "thing "didnt move. I reached out with a plastic sack and waved it close to the mouse. It flintched but didnt move. It actually curled its tail up closer. So I side stepped it and got one of my old canning jars. I set it right over the top of the mouse he still didnt move. I slid my hand under the bathroom rug that the kids threw downstairs to be washed and pick up the mouse and jar. As soon as I tipped him into the jar then he moved. But only a minute. I looked at him and showed him to my cats and said it must be rough to let mom do your work for you so you dont get the reward. Then I carried the mouse out side and set him free. An hour later when we went outside to go some where I looked to see if he had moved. At first I didnt see anything so I said oh good he's gone. Then I looked up closer to the house and there he was on his side dead! My next thought was why did I release him so close to the house he could have gotten back in? Next thought was I need to put more mouse poision in the basement!
Right!!
Ok, you'll pay for it dearly once you realise that God is actually a large rodent, but I'm sure he's a just God, and let's face it, the wee bastard's breaking and entering! Good luck catching it :)
barman-I just want it dead!
winters-I didn't hear anything last night.
gab-I do see bats when I sit outside after dark.
nodders-It is breaking and entering isn't it?
I hope you didn't accidentially hurt Caspar?
You need to find where they're coming in and plug it up. Remember when the racoons dug through the ceiling right into our bedroom. LOL! They were soooo cute! But I'm not sharing my bed with them. We trapped them and took them out to a field in the next town and released them.
