Drilling Sound in Attic: Squirrels—Hire a Wildlife Pro

Drilling sound in attic at 3 AM, cat brought baby squirrel, mature trees = high squirrel population. Two pest control companies "stumped."

Why Pest Control Failed

Most pest companies don't inspect roofs, attics, or crawlspaces. They treat insects, not wildlife.

Visit icwdm.org → Solutions → Damage Identification → learn how to inspect for wildlife.
Then → Service Vendors → read "How to Hire a NWCO."
Hire a qualified wildlife damage controller (not a pest company).

Keep cat indoors. Free-roaming cats devastate wildlife and bring diseases.
