Soooo, you’ll never guess where I had to catch this little menace 🦫… (he was actually very calm in demeanor & even hung out with the family and I, after we set him free in the Dupage river by the VFW….we named him Scratchy, cause he scrtched a lot 🤓)
Well anyways, the big reveal - Scratchy was in a client’s basement, right here in Plainfield; he had come up through the sump pump drain-pipe 🫠🤯 This is also something that these new developers keep in mind, while building the many subdivisions going up lately).
I immediately reached out to a traper friend of mine & he said “Yes! They will/can come through sump pumps into homes…”
Side note : (If you need a trapper/animal control “All Nuisance Trapping “ Pat Landry (630) 554-9262 beat in the business!)
This was from the corner of Caton Farm & Drauden (ish) - they will/can travel pipes from retention ponds & enter the home, not knowing how to get back out. 🤷
So this lil guy was knocking stuff over, CHEWING THE DOOR from the basement to the kitchen- that’s when I got the call to come inspect & please remove “whatever the F¥€ # is down there!?”. You could imagine their horror, & then my surprise, when I heard and noticed this guy runnin’ around - 💩ing absolutely EVERYWHERE & chewing absolutely EVERYTHING… 🤢 & 💸
After Sratchy evaded me for about 10 minutes, I decided to finally set a series of traps 🪤 I read they like 🥕’s and 🍎’s. Gottem with an 🍎 😏…
It took about an hour to trap him, and when I came back to relocate our lil friend, you could also imagine my clients relief to learn not only what it was, but what it did, how in the HELL it had gotten in, and that it’s now trapped/handled and safely GONE! 😎👍
Since I can’t post videos with pictures, I will be posting a Video or 2 of the whole experience on my page, so stay tuned 👀
As always, thank you for following Pfeiffer’s and have yourselves a great day!! ✌️
