UPDATE: There's a squirrel in my house

No, seriously. Somehow, one of the critters got into my basement -- how, I have no idea -- and in the process of attempting to smoke it out, it got scared and went into the heating ducts.

I haven't heard it since Sunday, though I saw it on the back stairs yesterday near the door. So I left the house, with the back door open, for about a half hour. I'm thinking it may be gone, but I really have no clue.

Any tips on getting this MF'er out of there? Or how to locate it if it's still here?

I've heard I don't want it dying in the heating duct, as that can be quite smelly.

Shit, did I duplicate threads? I didn't even think to search. My bad.

Give him a name. Then you can call his name and he'll come out to see what you want.

I'm chuckling on the outside, but on the inside I'm fearful I'm going to have a dead, stinky squirrel carcass funking up my home.

"He was like 60 years old, he was a marathon runner in great physical shape, about 5'5", 130 pounds, and he had these huge hands, this gigantic nose, and this little tiny bathing suit with what looked like a squirrel living in it. I shit you not. "

"So we make up from our little tiff, and we're walking, hand in hand, down the beach. And it turns out that one of the beaches is a nude beach. And guess who's there?

Squirrel man.

Only this time, he had what looked to be a snake in his lap.

And, I was like, "Did that thing eat the squirrel?'"

 

Re: There's a squirrel in my house

from experience, a dead, stinky squirrel carcass funking up your home is the least of your worries. that's a best-case scenario, if it doesn't destroy your home first. by (almost) any means necessary, get it out of your house.
