Mommy! What’s living under your New Jersey deck or shed
Keep in mind if you have been a child and also you have been afraid of turning out your bed room gentle since you believed there have been monsters below the mattress? Or possibly that was simply me.
No matter what was residing below your mattress, it is nothing in comparison with what’s taking on residence below your deck or shed in New Jersey. The place I as soon as had a cement patio which my spouse wasn’t too loopy about, I now have a wooden deck.
Not solely is it a part of the house to my spouse and youngsters, it is also the full house for every kind of creatures nice and small, the newest being a skunk.
I discovered that out when 2 of my neighbors informed me they noticed Pepe LePew crawling below my again deck, then later that night time once I put the air conditioner on in my bed room solely to search out an essence I did not need wherever close to my home.
The next afternoon when my sons got here house from college, Lennon says to me “Dad, I do know it is authorized however you do not have to smoke it in the home.” I informed him that was not weed, it was a skunk! It REALLY was a SKUNK!
He is in all probability hanging out with the snakes and chipmunks and mice which might be in all probability all hanging out enjoying poker below my deck. Typically when the solar is shining on it, I can look by the cracks and see issues trying again. Luckily nobody I do know.
So what’s below your deck or shed?

2 massive fats groundhogs have been residing below my son’s screened-in porch for two years. They ate a bunch of his vegetation and flowers. He purchased a steel lure. We lured them in, one after the other, with fruit. We drove them to a different wooded space about 5 miles away and launched them. I used to be informed we must always have killed them however no method we have been doing that
