The Elephant in the Middle of the Room

OK, so it wasn’t an elephant. Nor was it in the middle of the room. I walked into the kitchen and immediately knew from the smell that there was a dead animal in the attic. Pest control doesn’t handle these things, rather, I had to call a wildlife removal guy. I had visions of the turtle guy on all the you tube videos showing up and I wasn’t far off. He is very knowledgeable, doesn’t mind dealing with such matters, and obviously loves his job. In fact, I think he was disappointed it wasn’t a nest of raccoon or bats. Further inspection inside and outside of the attic, roof, garage, and kitchen found no holes in the structure or any other critter damage. Our mild winter this year will no doubt produce more pests than normal this spring. But I’m not worried because I now have a good wildlife hunter on speed dial.
