beyond boring and interesting
aurora, are you getting liquid d'n'b coming down through the ceiling, coupled with a smell of wee? If so, that'll be milesys you've got.
What's in my loft?

Up the bum - no babies!!!
If so, you want to get them out - they can cause thousands of pounds worth of damage......<shakes fist at milesys>....

Lol at this thread!
Especially the picture of Buds going into his loft all Ripley style...
Anyway, phoned the council this morning, and after much leaving me on hold and buck passing, have said they're going to look into it.

Well the man at the council wasn't quite convinced it was squirrels either, and his tone when I mentioned my electric cables was verging on insulting; "Don't squirrels eat nuts?" he asked very slowley...

If I remember correctly, Heathcliff gets locked in the attic, doesn't he?
Nah - it's his crazy wife - Bertha Rochester.
We've been discussing his shameful treatment of her on the bookgroup thread.
Well.....I've been banging on and on and most people have been ignoring me
Edit: I'm a twat - Heathcliff's in Wuthering Heights, Mr Rochester's in Jane Eyre - with his mad wife in the attic and as far as I know there is no attic action in Wuthering Heights but I'm probably wrong about that too
<Goes off to read Spot the Dog>

Well, I'm a bit distraught now.
The man from the council has just been. He spent about five minutes in the loft, said he couldn't find any holes, but had left two trays of poison.
He had found two nests and said there was massive damage to my insulation (just what I need with gas bills increasing by 25%)
But anyways, he said one of the things they might do was cut back the tree to prevent acess. Nooooo! I said, (Im quite passionate about all three tress near to my block) Please dont cut back the tree, I'd rather have the squirrels...
It was inconclusive as to whether this was actually going to be done or not, but now I feel like some animal murdering, treekiller and I'm kind of wishing I hadn't bothered...
Why oh why, couldn't they just spend a bit of time blocking up the holes instead of all this?
And now I guess I've got try and persuade the council to re-insulate the loft, which is far easier said than done.

But surely if they just blocked up the holes, the squirrels would break in again.
Lopping a few branches off the trees so they can't actually reach the roof wouldn't be so bad would it?

They're just as likely to be scampering up the drainpipes surely?

Well squirrels do tend to hang out in trees.....
