call the exterminator yourself and just deduct it from your next rent check.Squirrel update: it’s going to be a massive pain in the ass getting my landlord to fucking deal with this fml fml fml
I text her and told her I’d call places and get quotes and so the legwork and she just didn’t respond. I’m worried she won’t reimburse me if I get it without her agreement.call the exterminator yourself and just deduct it from your next rent check.
Better than calling it cracker. White squirrels take offense to that term.Mini-Kevo is so PC. There is an albino squirrel in my neighborhood she called him/her "whitey."
Good advice, thank you. The scratching is the fucking worst. I think I’ll just continue with getting quotes, keep her updated, and go with the cheapest one and say I’ll take it off my rent. I’ll check my lease too!If you follow my suggestion there's nothing to reimburse. You might add that you're doing her a favor as squirrels are pretty destructive. I bought my in-laws house and they had squirrels in the attic for years. There was only access panel in a closet to get to the attic so they didn't do much about the varmints beyond putting some D-con around there. When the new sheriff came to town, I took an aggressive approach to cleaning the attic. I installed a pull down staircase and discovered that the squirrels had basically stripped all of the pink fiberglass insulation and stuffed it in the eaves to make nests. They had also chewed through the insulation on a bunch of electrical wires leaving the wires exposed. This is not to mention the skeletons and carcasses we found when we cleaned out the whole attic space. Talk about a PITA.
FWIW, I could not sleep at night when/if I heard the scratching on the ceiling panels. check your rental agreement and see if there's a nuisance clause that this would be covered under. Good luck.
Not anymore Clark. He found out they're high in cholesterol.Where's Eddie? He usually eats these God damn things!
