I was heading out the door to go to class yesterday, and as I closed the door I heard rustling on top of the broom closet, where we keep some baskets and stuff, in the back hall/stairwell area. I looked up toward the sound and what do I see but a SQUIRREL sitting in one of the baskets!! I busted out laughing and then immediately got the broom to try to chase the little bugger down the stairs and out the door to the outside. Unfortunately, he went upstairs instead and hid in the attic somewhere, so I wasn't able to chase him out that time. Then this morning I hear a sound out there again as I'm going about my business and sure enough, there he is. Once again I started after him but again he went and hid in the attic; I went up there but couldn't find him so I went back into the apartment and continued with my day. I also put a container of sunflower seeds on the landing in hopes of attracting him there so I would hear him and could chase him out the door. So later I opened the door to check, and there he was on the landing again. I grabbed the broom from where I left it by the door and went after him yet again; this time I did get him downstairs but then he ran up the wall and back upstairs; the process was repeated and he disappeared into a gap in the ceiling for the electrical wiring and I could then not find him. Then I came back inside and started writing this post; about that time my roommate (who is also the one who owns the building) came home and yelled for me to "come look at this, did that squirrel get in here again?" It turns out the darn squirrel had chewed the (brand new) window frames on the second and third floor landing. I didn't even notice this earlier as I was so busy chasing him and wasn't really looking at anything else. OK, now the situation isn't funny anymore. Obviously we need to plug up whatever hole there is in the attic or anywhere else where he got in; the question is what's the best and quickest way to remove the little bugger before he causes any more damage?
