Have something in my air ducts

my neighbor just caught a raccoon with peanut butter

the cage trap thing




air duct squirrels, maybe you throw cinnamon up there? I think they hate that

It may be squirrels. If it is, I’m gonna pop that bastard with a pellet gun if I trap it.

Hard pipe ductwork I hope, animals can and will reduce flex duct lines to a useless pile of piss soaked insulation and plastic

Update 1: Checked the trap this morning but no luck. When I went under there, I heard scurrying however and saw a squirrel run out of a place they have chewed away. Put the trap by the entrance. If this doesn’t work, I’ve got a pellet gun and will perform a stakeout when it heads for a tree outside. These bastards haven’t won

Update 2: checked on the trap this AM. Still nothing, when I opened the crawl space door, I saw two squirrels running around under there. One was perched on the duct with the trap about six feet away from the trap. Went inside and got my pellet gun but common sense told me if I knock it down and wound it, it’s gonna be a mess getting him out of there. I’m ticked off now, if anyone finds a link to a flamethrower, let me know.

This things are fun. A buddy has one to burn the fields on his property. You can find them on the secondary market as NOS

Just pump carbon monoxide into your air ducts. You'll be golden. OR, release snakes in your crawlspace. Either way, squirrels will be gone


Can you access the interior of your air duct in that area? if so, put your traps inside, and just check them diligently. I also spread cinnamon around the perimeter of my crawlspace. No clue if it works, but my pawpaw always did it, and it makes it smell like Christmas

Nope
