My kid thought both of us had ghosts in the attic. I wish it was that straight-forward! We moved into this remote farmhouse knowing that it was a fixer-upper, however both of us really didn’t know how much fixing was required. The place had been empty for years, so while it had not been damaged, it had not been cared for in quite some time, and my wife and I thought both of us could handle anything except for maybe the specialty labor that would come later, then even though the central plan was antique, the gas furnace in the basement still worked fine. Air conditioning would be a concern for another week, there were too multiple other things that needed fixing first. The first night there, little Jane said there were ghosts in the attic, however what she was hearing was the pitter-patter of squirrels in the ductworks. The ductwork had been infested with generations of squirrels while the home was empty. Thankfully they had never ventured down into the home itself, however all of the ductwork would need to be detachd and upgraded. That couldn’t happen until the ductwork was free of all living creatures, which was something none of us knew how to do. If both of us poisoned them or gassed them, then I just have ductworks clogged full of dead squirrels, which is not much better than what both of us have. We actually have no concern removing the ductwork and putting in the modern set ourselves, however both of us are clueless about how to clear them out! Anyone have pointers on how to get squirrels out of ductwork?
