The critter is gone. Nothing was broken, although I will say it’s extremely hot covered up in the heat. Yes, I’m a total chicken, but I wasn’t about to be bitten.

If you’re looking for a startup business, may I recommend pest removal, especially of the bat variety. We have a critter currently holed up in our spare bedroom and finding someone to not just remove it, but also inspect the attic for entry points is impossible.
