Squirrels are almost certainly the culprits. You really want to get rid of them now before they start birthing pups.
A common entry point is between the roof and the walls. Remember that these rodents can squeeze into a very small hole. It is also possible that they are entering through a neighbors house and getting through a hole in the dividing wall.
They are known to leave the nest for the late morning and afternoon to feed (that is if there are no babies). So that is the time to close that hole.
if you are certain the eaves are sealed you may wanna look up at the cornice between yours and an adoining building. Sometimes there are holes in the skylights near where they meet the bottom of the house. I also had a hole where squirrels were getting in by the leader pipe from the roof
Our block is in need of an exterminator that can deal with a recent rat infestation. Has anyone coordinated a block effort before – and if so can anyone recommend a good exterminator?
