    A Smoking Room

    It's deja-vu all over again! A while back I had problems with coons in our attic. Now it's a squirrel in the a/c exhaust for my smoking room. I'm trying to get him to move out by blowing the a/c exhaust at full force and making noise, but all he does it look at me through the window a moment...
