There are squirrels in the attic again, and I feel they have burrowed a hole in the roofing material someplace; For the record, I hate squirrels, then they are worse than rats in my opinion, because at least rats are stupid and can be trapped, and squirrels are smarter, stronger, faster, and easily difficult to kill.
They have been a large problem in this city for years, but this is the first time they have gotten into my house, i feel I will require some kind of roof maintenance or service, but before I call in the experts and start spending tons of money I have to see for myself.
I am not a roofing expert, and have a minor fear of heights, so I don’t like getting up on top of the apartment unless it’s easily necessary… As I walked around on my roofing I was easily careful with every step I made. Some of the shingles were slipping, and a few of the support beams seemed crooked, so I knew I required major roof repair, and possibly a full updatement. I found that the squirrels had been getting in through a rotten, exposed plywood board, so my next step was to call the roofing company immediately. I knew how the critters were getting inside, although I couldn’t call the pest control company until after the roofing company had patched that hole. The whole process took about two weeks, although I must say my roof updatement is top of the line, and I don’t expect to have any more complications with squirrels.
