Illinois Woman Discovers Intruder Living Rent-Free In Her House

The intruder isn't human either.

I got home today and discovered a hairy unwanted guest had moved in—without warning.  No invite, no notice, no nothing.  It was just chillin' in my house like it owned the place.

Yes, I'm talking about a squirrel.

I don't know how it got in because I had all my windows closed, vents aren't big enough for it to fit through, and my chimney is sealed to protect any intruders, like this one.  Instantly, I started yelling for it to get out of my house, but it only agitated the lil guy even more.  He just scurried back and forth in my entryway and eventually made it into my apartment where my cats were minding their business.

After it sprinted through my house in a panic, zipped past my cats, and climbed all over my clothes, it started making clicking and hissing sounds at me.  Like, really?  The audacity.

Here's the video of me finding the squirrel in my apartment.  Enjoy.

Now that you see how terrifying this encounter was, how do I find the hole the squirrel came out of?  Because once he ran into my kitchen, he vanished.  Nowhere to be found.  I couldn't even find the hole it crawled out of!  So, it could still be in my house and I don't even know it.

Now I have to sleep with both eyes open because I'm afraid the squirrel will sneak its way into my bed and move in without my consent.

Moral of the story: expect the unexpected.  Always.
