“We see weird stuff all the time, but I’d never seen anything like this.”
Nick Castro of Nick's Extreme Pest Control found 700 pounds of acorns inside a Glen Ellen Airbnb last month. The culprit? A couple of woodpeckers.Castro measured 700 pounds of acorns, to be exact. And there weren’t maggots but mealworms lurking inside of them. The culprit? A couple of woodpeckers who had been poking holes in the chimney stack to stash their food for future meals, only to have their hard-earned snacks fall into the empty wall cavity where they couldn’t retrieve them.
Castro said he had to cut open four different holes in the walls to remove the sheer number of acorns, which were covered in fiberglass insulation and filled eight 40-gallon garbage bags up to the brim. The process took hours, and from there, the acorns were loaded into a van and hauled off to the dump.
He may have felt a twinge of guilt after disposing of the birds' hard work, but he had to hand it to them."They were pretty creative," he said. Nick Castro of Nick's Extreme Pest Control found 700 pounds of acorns inside a Glen Ellen Airbnb last month. The culprit? A couple of woodpeckers.
