Sounds like there is a squirrel stuck in my wall of my apartment. Besides being super annoying to listen to, what are the chances he decides to freak out and chew through my drywall and enter in? Pretty slim?

He probably won't chew through your wall. Instead, he will throw squirrel parties at 3:00 AM, and have your worried that he'll die and stink up the place.

12/2/2012 6:57:23 PM

Ugh, yeah. That'll be a pleasant month of awful smell.

I'll call my apt maintenance tomorrow but I doubt they'll do anything. I imagine it's pretty common since it's in a highly wooded area.

i'd guess it was a mouse

i noticed a mouse in my kitchen a day or two ago, and that crafty fucker has been scaring me with subtle noises ever since

i think i need to get a trap

12/2/2012 6:59:46 PM

Or he will die and stink up the place until you rip all the drywall off and find the carcass. Yay, you!

12/2/2012 6:59:54 PM

once the carcass dries out the smell will subside

12/2/2012 7:04:16 PM

walnut-brain sized rodents who enter into your walls for either food or warmth in the cold months will generally leave to search for food elsewhere if they don't find anything worthwhile in your sheetrock corridor

They really only stink for a day or two. It's bearable.

you've got a free meal just chilling in your wall. quit yer bitchin.

12/2/2012 7:16:28 PM

^7th one looks like he has a toothpick sticking out of his face

12/2/2012 7:22:25 PM

you want to get that thing outta there- my mom had a squirrel climb into one of her heating units in one of her classrooms over christmas break, and when they came back to classes the thing had died and the room stank to high heaven. had to replace the whole unit and it stunk for an entire semester.

12/2/2012 7:33:29 PM

turn the A/C on

it's probably a female squirrel, looking for some place warm to nest for the winter

if it's not warm, she won't want to stay

12/2/2012 7:40:23 PM

^^i dont think its necessarily worth fretting over that much

i once had some type of rodent in my wall (heard it scratching around) and never once did i detect any smell

heating unit != wall

12/2/2012 7:40:43 PM

if it dies in there though, it could be bad news- they can sometime get stuck in there and not be able to get back down. The apartment complex should be able to take care of it for you- they don't want it doing any damage either.

I've had mice terrorizing me over the past few months...good luck!!

12/2/2012 7:50:06 PM

^your dog needs to step her game up

12/2/2012 7:51:40 PM

She's always too late...but will dash to the case if I even whisper her name

kinda funny

12/2/2012 7:54:32 PM

Let's start thinking like a squirrel here, alright? We need another squirrel, that's what we need. Here's what you need to do. Crack a little hole in your wall, a tiny one, it'll be cool and then you'll slip a second squirrel in with a string tied around it. Those two will become codependent and then you'll rip the second squirrel out and the first squirrel, hopefully, will follow

12/2/2012 8:11:37 PM

^^are all those pictures her going after the mouse? if so, props to your dog

12/2/2012 8:12:34 PM

12/2/2012 8:12:44 PM

yeah thats what she's attempting to do

12/2/2012 8:18:12 PM

did you take those pictures while standing on a chair and screaming?

12/2/2012 8:22:23 PM

basically...I walk around my place wearing my Uggs 24/7 lol

12/2/2012 8:24:39 PM

Where's Eddie? He usually eats these damn things.

12/2/2012 8:25:56 PM

Not since he found out they are high in cholesterol.

12/2/2012 8:29:54 PM

Property management is having an outside vendor come tomorrow to seal any and all outside holes in to the attic space. Would be nice if the little guy is NOT in at that time, other wise he'll hang out until he dies I suppose..

Also, at like 7am this morning I heard him head out above my bedroom window so I'm guessing that's the exit point and last night what I heard was him building his nest near my fireplace and not freaking out because he was stuck. Makes sense...
