Squirrels be crazy.
A buddy was out of town and his wife called me to help with a persistent squirrel in the attic. The squirrel had chewed a hole in one of the soffet boards which my friend had nailed a plank over, but the squirrel simply chewed through it again. I replaced the damaged board and covered the entire soffet area with a piece of sheet metal. The next day the squirrel had chewed a new hole just off the edge of the sheet metal. I assume that level of effort meant it was a female squirrel desperate to return to a litter of pups in the nest.
They eventually live trapped the offending critter, and released it far away. I don’t suppose the pups survived beyond that.
