Through the squirrel hill "black hole" on the east side of town lol.

We had this in  RI  Bats and squirrels in the attic.  

I had one renter (who pays $3200/m for a 3/2 flat) call because "squirrels were breaking into their porch (three season) and tearing through the screens.

So I have a flip we are working on with a few squirrels causing havoc that has cost a lot of $.. we tried trapping ourselves with a lot of different things and have caught nothing yet.

This was an unplanned occasion.

Extreme weather conditions, or areas prone to flooding, high wind, tornados, heavy snow storms, high humidity, wildfires, and long stretches of freezing temps add up to more maintenance costs, unplanned repair expenses, more insurance claims and higher premiums, greater risk of injury, higher utility costs, snow removal, and more strain on mechanical equipment, roofs, siding, and so on.

Of course a blind squirrel will find golden nuggets once in a blue moon, but specific properties will decrease in value once time on market continues to extend out/inventory grows (which may or may not happen depending on if folks want to get rid of their 3.25% mortgage, no reason to move).

Live with parents squirrel away all your income, save up another $50000 in a year. $250000 down payment on $900000 house in San Diego.

Well I guess technically the squirrel holes in the fascia would act as ventilation but I'm talking about what was originally installed by the builder.

See what's going on - you do NOT want birds, squirrels, raccoons, etc. in your chimney.
