finally caught them in the act tonight. they were dropping onto the garage roof, going over the edge, hooking their filthy squirrel paws into the vents, and swinging themselves onto the feeders to gorge
so i took their vents away
hope the duct tape holds up!

im not super worried about this btw. figured it was something like this but garage isnt heated and it doesnt seal in the least so im not too concerned
explicitly its a detached garage

Just keep an eye on the humidity in your attic. Those vents are there to provide airflow. It’s not like engineered to be precise, but covering nearly half may be bad news for cooling and humidity.

i THINK it was jumping from the downspout although i can't prove it
i moved the feeder two feet farther away. we shall see if this suffices
i have additional plans in the works if not

think the main risk is that they might be able to clear a jump to the baffle from ground level

meanwhile a side discussion with following his generous offer to identify the garden plants we inherited from the previous owner has led me to a new jihad, against my neighbor

plant murder equipment ordered
injector is a custom piece from england, going to be a few weeks for it to arrive
turns out Minnesota regulates this as a noxious weed so i probably have the state on my side if things get ugly. MN is real serious about agricultural integrity
