I have put up a screen on the attic side of my gable vent to keep out wildlife. I have a squirrel that has made a nest in the gable vent slats, on the outside of the screen. So technically, the squirrel is not in my attic, but is only seperated by a screen he could probably chew thru if tempted. I hear this guy scratching around and building his nest every morning. I always go check on him, he has never tried to come thru the screen. I've tried 'squirrel chasers', which are just expensive mothballs, he doesn't seem to mind them. I could try putting a screen on the outside-side of the gable vent, but it's very high, my ladder won't reach, and I'm not a fan of heights. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Location is New York (borough queens) I've managed to rid my apartment of these stinking German roaches for a few years, but now they are back with a vengeance :rolleyes: From 2001-2004 I used the "COMBAT roach gel/baits" which did a outstanding job. It seems the roaches have gotten immune. I tried to switch to "RAID" baits but it had very little effect. A friend of mine suggested a "illegal" product called "Tempo". I afraid to handle this product as it must be highly toxic and dangerous to inexperienced users. I have read on the forums that boric acid is a option. Where do they sell this powder and is it worth using? Can anyone give any suggestions, because I'm getting really disgusted with these bugs :mad: Thank You Fess
