I heard some noise under the floor or somewhere over the pass day or two. tonight I think it got in the vents somehow, not sure but its noisy how its running from room to room under there?!>!. I am pretty sure its a squirrel. Tonight I crawled under there to view some torn holes in my belly/insulation.

In one beside of some pipes I see where its trying to build a nest or something, had some paper and leaves. I noticed over toward the other side of the house it ripped the belly pretty good near the ductwork from the master bed/bathroom.

I'll be calling someone in the morning to come out and look, or my wife, since I have to travel to a training for work (ugh, I'm now stressed).

Anyone have any suggestions?

I left the door cracked to the crawl space after I checked it about 40 mins ago, in hoping that it leaves. I hope nothing else crawls in.

Well obviously the skirting is not critter proof. The first thing you need to do is make sure all of the critters are out ( it really does not smell good if you seal them in) and get everything closed up and the belly sealed up tight. Greg

Did you get the critters out yet?

I've successfully used a trail of bread pieces to lure a skunk out from under a building and out to the woods...

Hi,

Since this is not about repairs at the moment I am going to move it to Off Topic.

Thanks and follow there,

I'm pretty sure I have, and I haven't heard anything since them.

I need to get under there and patch up some belly though.



What would be the best way doing so?

I know some thick black plastic but what would be the best to attach it? Dutch tape? what?
