My kid thought we had ghosts in the attic.
I wish it was that easy! Both of us moved into this remote farmhouse knowing that it was a fixer-upper, however we absolutely didn’t believe how much fixing was required.
The locale had been empty for years, so while it had not been disfigured, it had not been cared for in quite some time, however my fiance & I thought we could handle anything except for maybe the specialty labor that would come later; Even though the central idea was antique, the gas furnace in the basement still worked fine. Air conditioning would be a concern for another week, there were too various other things that needed fixing first. The first night there, little Jane said there were ghosts in the attic, however what he was hearing was the pitter-patter of squirrels in the HVAC ducts. The HVAC duct had been infested with generations of squirrels while the lake house was empty. Thankfully they had never ventured down into the lake house itself, however all of the HVAC duct would need to be detachd & updated. That couldn’t happen until the HVAC duct was free of all living creatures, which was something none of us knew how to do. If we poisoned them or gassed them, after that I just have HVAC ducts jammed full of dead squirrels, which is not much better than what we have. Both of us absolutely have no concern removing the HVAC duct & putting in the new set ourselves, however we are clueless about how to clear them out! Anyone have pointers on how to get squirrels out of HVAC duct?
