bit then repeats, all times of the day or night then stops for lengthy
periods. I thought chipmunk, but they are usually more repetitive
vocally when they get going. I can't pinpoint where this is, I have a
cat so it is probably hiding, suspect the heat ducts but not sure
because the sound seems to alternate between the dining room and spare
bedroom, kitchen or back hall, it is hard to track the sound. This has
been going on for about a week now. I thought I might be hearing
things, but my daughter was here and heard it and asked what it was.
I bought a havahart live trap for smallish creatures, had a dickens of a
time getting it set, daughter figured out the final step, and loaded it
with sunflower seeds and a peanut. Nothing has happened yet.

I'll try to be more quiet. But could you leave out some peanut butter and
jelly and a couple slices of bread so I can make myself a PB & jelly
sandwich ?

Since there are many various methods of 'trapping' critters, you need to
identify what it is first. Ask a friend and have one (who seems
knowledgeable in these matters) come over to help identify it. Then you can
ask for the trap (or other method of removal) at the local hardware store.

I don't have many friends, and the ones I have I doubt would know. That
means animal control. Don't want to call them - yet. They get here and
the thing shuts up for hours with my luck.
I already bought a trap, hope it is not the wrong one. I may have put
the wrong kind of bait in it or it is just going to hide and cheep.
Hope it isn't a bat.
