TLDR: your roof needs to protect you form more than just weather. I don't do heights anymore, so had a pest control company come in and they blocked the entry and put spike strips on both sides of the peak so there is no comfortable roosting area. The soffit wasn't missing, but I guess it was loose enough they could get in. I guess the latest crew of roofers had dislodged the soffit on the other side of the peak from the squirrel entry I had blocked before. I went outside and could hear it from out there, it was so loud. I immediately thought of squirrels, but this was a lot louder than they had ever been. About three weeks ago I woke up to a horrible racket in the soffit and couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. We had to replace our shingles again this spring. My brother was a roofer and replaced all the vents with metal ones so they couldn't get back in. Proper number of vents positioned correctly along the ridge line 2. I guess they had grown accustomed to a nice warm dry home, and chewed through a plastic vent to get back in. Fast forward a month, and we hear critters in the attic again. I blocked off that opening and trapped the one that was left in the attic, fortunately it wasn't a whole family in there. About a month later, we heard critters in the attic and I discovered the roofers had knocked out a soffit where an upper roof met a lower one on our bilevel, and squirrels were getting in. We had new shingles installed 16 years ago. Submissions with brand names or company names in their titles will be removed.īear with me, this is a little long.
