Umm... While that's true, IME, that's also how many of the critters have gotten into our house to begin with - drawn to warmth, smell of food sources, water, curiosity(?).... and we have had that idea backfire; the mate/parent of the intruder came looking for its lost one.

Over the years, our abode has been invaded by all manner of bugs, birds, bats, mice, squirrels, chipmonks (3 this week alone), stray cats & dogs, raccoons (2 this past winter), and snakes. (I'm probably leaving something out but I just woke up.) This has resulted in certain procedures we've adopted:

1. Stay calm (or get control, or find someone who can)
2. Control any children/pets until
3. Identification of intruder & assess possible danger/risk (venom, rabies, bird flu, etc.)
4. formulate an appropriate eviction plan
5. execute same

HTH,
