Squirrels and other unwanted Visitors

As some of you might know, I have a barn on my property that I have a country shoppe in, Vintage Chics Resale.  Right now it looks like a storage unit or maybe even a room from that show, Hoarders.  Because it is not currently heated, it has been pretty much closed for the winter and whatever I have picked-up over the last few months has just kinda been tossed inside.  So the other day after crawling over some of the stuff, I was finally in the middle of the shoppe.  As I am standing there looking at the mess I had made I started to notice that there seemed to also be a mess that I know I did not have any part in making.  There was a smashed religious figure on the floor, which I was not happy about at all!

As I stood looking around I saw even more things knocked over and broken.  A vase, a swan, a few dishes, etc.  There were also quite a few things knocked over but not damaged.  Then I saw the real damage!  As I walked closer, I just couldn’t believe I was actually seeing what I saw.

It looked like a Beaver had been visiting me!  And a very hungry one at that!  These wood chips are from one of my shoppes front windows.

I am going to assume it wasn’t a Beaver but a squirrel, because I have seen a lot of them running around the yard.  I am not sure how he got in, but the barn isn’t as secure as it should be.

   When I first moved in to this house, it had been vacant for over a year and we had squirrels living in a side wall, we got them out of there and they decided to move to the other side of the house behind a gutter area.  It took a long time to get rid of them!  I am NOT a fan of squirrels, that’s for sure and it looks like they have come back to haunt me again!  It might be time to call Precision Wildlife Services!
