Kids have the wildest imaginations, don’t they? That is one of the joys of raising them, is that I get to experience these particular and original thoughts! As people get older, they start to do and say the things they are supposed to, then society teaches us what are the familiar beliefs to hold, and everyone “go along to get along.” With young youngsters you get raw unfiltered ideas, things you might have never heard before! The other night our 4-year-old Elle told me that he heard ghosts in the ceiling and he was scared to sleep by herself, and i laid down with her, and an eighth later I heard the strange sounds he described! It wasn’t a ghost, though, it was an pet crawling through the HVAC duct… This has happened to me before, and I suppose how much of a hassle it is to get a residing creature out of the small confines of an air duct ventilation system.
The first thing I did was close off all the air vents, to keep it from wriggling into the house.
I looked around outside the house until I saw the exterior air duct shaft that had a broken corner. It was only a few inches wide, however this gap was an open door into the HVAC duct, and I was lucky if there weren’t a lot more pets in there! I put some food outside that broken gap in the HVAC duct, hoping the pet would leave our house to eat, then no such luck! Now I have to call pet control and an Heating and Air Conditioning dealer.
