As I walked around the corner there stood a silly little squirrel. I know what your thinking. Squirrels have got to be the cutest and most comical creatures on the planet. Do you have a bird feeder? Ever watch a silly gray squirrel attempt to get into the squirrel-proof feeder. I know damn well they look that thing and say, “Challenge, accepted.” And accept it they do. From sun up until sun down, squirrels will try every trick in their book. Then they often go and ask their friends to help them out until they crack the code and gain access to the sweet meats inside. It’s about the cheapest form of entertainment around.
I was walking through a local feed store the other day, and an entire wall longer than my house was full of nothing but bird feeders. Every shape, size, color, and function imaginable was there. Mind you, they weren’t really designed to feed birds They were designed to keep out squirrels, and hopefully feed the birds. That’s all they really do. They discourage squirrels, but don’t keep them out. Squirrels can spend days on end, tirelessly working to gain access into your bird feeder. You can bet then, that making their way into your attic is a walk in the park. After filling your belly with hard won seeds, wouldn’t you like a nice soft bed of insulation to lay in? We all would.
