Inspection and advice re. pest control
I really thought I had a squirrel in my attic; I could hear it in my office for days. I could hear it scratching and thought it sounded larger than mice and smaller than a raccoon. Tyler came to check out the problem. I live in a townhouse. He inspected all the roofs of the 5 attached units and couldn't find anything. Actually, he thought it could have been the end unit where something could have been coming in and making its way through all the adjoining attics, then into my attic. A few days after he left I heard squeaking in the attic and I thought for sure that squirrel had babies. Tyler and Andrea (Customer Service) both told me it could not be babies in late Nov. I didn't believe them. Once I managed to speak to the neighbors in the end unit, I called Tyler back. He came back, even though he was pretty sure there wasn't much he could do. He checked the roofs again and spent some time talking with me and the neighbor and giving us some good advice. Eventually he said it could be mice. Well, as it happens, it was indeed mice! Ugh, they were making the squeaking sounds. So my mistake was calling "wildlife control" when I really needed "pest control". Wow, those mice sound much bigger when they're scratching on the ceiling above my head. Anyway Tyler was great, but mice are not something they handle. If I ever do have a real "wildlife" problem I will for sure call AAA Gates again.
