They were squirrels, real squirrels

Ah, homeownership. Yesterday I found out that some squirrels have taken up residence in our garage attic. Now I really like squirrels, but I really don't want them in there. Especially if some squirrel war leads to squirrel corpses decomposing all over the place. So the earth-friendly types over at the Audubon Society tell me to let them hang out until NOVEMBER so the babies can grow up and get out. If I trap them I am going to have to take them to the State of Washington to let them go. Apparently large bodies of water confuse them, so the Columbia will prevent them from getting back. Or I can trap them and kill them. Or I can hire somebody. Which is probably what I will end up doing after failing to trap them.
