Neighbors all have the same complaint.
It is everywhere.
Usually August is squirrel suicide month, but it extended this year into mid October.
(Squirrel suicide month is the month that the young squirrels discover traffic after they leave the nest. )
On one 30 minute ride I counted 43 dead squirrels one day in early September.
So if the squirrels were doing so well I guess the rest of the rodent world also was booming. And it certainly has shown up around here.
Had to have the electrician in to remove and mouse proof the bubble box outside and the behind the service panel. Nests everywhere.
We never had Rodents until the MJ crowd started growing lived here 40 plus years
