Okay, I was always philosophical about the possibility of a final victory, but now I know that there can be no peace ever again. The squirrels will be back. No amount of mesh will keep them out.
Yesterday, I could hear them running back and forth down the soffits. There was finally a break in the rain, so I climbed up my ladder to take a look. I found a huge nest – mostly filled with clippings from the neighbour’s hedge. With some difficulty, I have removed the nest. Hopefully they wont try and rebuild this Spring, but I fully expect to see them again in the Fall or next Spring. Squirrels nest (and have babies) twice a year.
So this is the new normal: a constant war, an asymmetrical war, a war I can’t win, but must fight.
Hey at least, I don’t have to deal with this…yet
