Noisy pest

I live in a community with houses less than 20 feet apart sometimes. We have a wide array of birds, feral cats, and squirrels. We have more than 35 dogs on our block. Noise is usually not a concern or problem. This morning you would have thought someone was killing someone. The high pitched squeaking and squeals, and even little screams, was enough to make one wonder. I opened up my door to the fight of two squirrels on a light pole. They were fighting over something, I really couldn't see what. I thought about letting my dog out, but she would have only found them amusing and they would have beaten her up. Do you ever have squirrels bothering you?

When we bought this house it had been empty for over a year. There were squirells in the attic and fought terrible up there. Scared me when I heard it the first time before we moved in. So we put some live traps up there and captured and released them a few miles down the road in a wooded area.

That sounds like the first house we purchased in Florida. We were in a neighborhood like I am now. The squirrels climbed into the attic via our screenporch. Yikes. We couldn't get the critters out because there was no "attic" access. The pest company finally had to set the traps for us. LOL

@fishtiger58 Yes, thank goodness. I thought they were going to be permanent residents.

Yes, we do, but not usually from them making any noise. They keep digging up my plants, and make holes in my lawn where they hide their nuts.

Digging up plants is a problem. So are all the holes. LOL I have moles as well as squirrels so my yard is all holes. LOL
