Coffee Break #30 - Go Jets!!

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

celeste when my email was hacked someone had changed some settings on how email was processed that i could see on my providers page under my set up.

if the person really knew you they would not be making the accusation imho.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Thanks for the info Bill, i'll look into it and thanks you for the compliment.
I was extremely upset at first, to the point of tears. I called my DD who cheered me up and teased me about it. She then called other DD who called up but Brian answered and they told him the story. I then had all three teasing me about my rotten PC skills.
The first thing this morning my daughter got on and messaged me "How many PC's have you hacked into this mornig? ROTFLMAO"
She thinks she's a comedian.^_^

I thought Avatar was a movie.

Yes, pixie, you fit the hacker profile perfectly..... NOT

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Ha ha Jan, thats what i thought avatar was, so I was very confused at first!!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Uh oh - I hear a squirrel running around in my walls!!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Not sure what to do. I have a trap, but would rather he leave the way he got in, whatever that is. Any suggestions?

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

that is not good! major source of home fires.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

do you know where it got in? usually they build a nest and have stored food. If you know where they get in i can tell you how to build a one-way exit using hardware cloth.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

No. I knew they were getting into the attic and I thought I got that the other day. I'm assuming it's still up there. Did not see a nest while up there.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

the nest would be in the walls - where/what is the entrance?

i had them chew through a wooden gutter.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I'm assuming still the attic. It seems to be in the space between the first and second floors. I hear it in the ceiling now.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

i would take a walk outside and look for the entrance if you are not sure

hey and be careful not to step in any deer poop!

First priority is to get him out!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

He know's the storm is coming......he's not leaving on his own accord. LOL

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I thought of that. The storm is here. Raining very hard right now.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

The cats are going nuts with the sound!

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Oh the sound...I just came my senior Dane her meds to keep her calm, she hates storms!

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

wrong - if you do not know here the entrance is you can't get him out

once you find the entrance staple hardware cloth over it with a one way exit so it can not get back in - the tree rat will go out on its own and not be able to re-enter - the one way exit is made with hardware cloth as well - just cut it wide enough to made a 3 or 4" tube and with wire cutters weave a bit into the other side so it stays a tube - the tube should be about 18" long - at the end where you have stapled the hw cloth to the house make an opening the circumference of the tube and "stitch" it to the hardware cloth - at the end of the tube cut out the cross wires so there is 5 to 6" of wire pointing out lengthwise - the tree rats will be able to out and not back in.

good luck

I saw that on google, Bill. However, I believe the point of entry is the louvered vent in the attic. I don't have access to it to do all that.

South Hamilton, MA

After rain--I would get someone with equipment to close off the vent. Don't need electrical fires, especially with kids in the house.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I can close off the vent with thick plywood from the inside - after it's gone.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

or you will trap it - need to give it a way out - there could be babies in there - and those tree rats get very aggressive trying to get to their babies - i know - call an exterminator to do it

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

That way you'll know where and what to close off.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Send the cats up there after him.

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

watch them go nuts!

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

it could be dinner time for the squirrels

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Too dangerous! Squirrel wins that one. And there is always the possibility of rabies.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Do they do rabies shots for cats?

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

Yes they do.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

They have gotten the shots, but why take a chance?

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Oh yeah, I forgot they are indoor cats. Maybe you can borrow my brother's cat.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

i just saw this in the boston globe - what do you think about this law?

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Unreal.

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Personally I think it's pretty gross, as long as tooth hygiene is practiced as necessary at home I don't think it should have to be practiced at school or day care. Certainly shouldn't be a "law" in my eyes.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

at least there is an opt out option - what next?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Can't say that law has no teeth!

South Hamilton, MA

ouch!

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

good one victor!

surprised jen did not dream about this :)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Hee hee!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Haven't heard my little friend for a while now. Claws are crossed!
