Rats and Books
We've been hearing noises in the wall between our house and the garage for a while, and got confirmation today that it was rats. Apparently they chewed their way in through a hole at the end of a rain gutter and got in the garage attic, then got in and have been hanging out under the bathtub. So, not fun. But someone at the university recommended a wildlife removal company that specializes in rodents, and I think that's exactly what we need. (We're also infested with geckos, but that's actually a good thing.) Anyway, it's going to be expensive, but not nearly as bad as I thought.

Yeah, they can get in anywhere. They've apparently been more of a problem this year, too.
Well, floods and heavy rain are seldom an issue in NM. Mice and rats, tho.....
Yikes! they are persistent little creatures. Good luck on the eradication.
ITO the roofer (new roof) hadn't put the vent cap back on right, so there was a pathway into the insulation between the roof and the sheetrock. A perfect, snuggly mouse nest! Yuck.
