It's 5 am, and Lis and I haven't been able to sleep for hours because of the loud scampering in the walls. We think it's squirrels, because rats and mice are quieter. The animal control people have had traps up for weeks, but it's not helping yet.

Of course, given that where we believe they're entering our apartment wall is part of the third floor's fire escape, putting a litterbox up there may not be the friendliest most neighborly move we could make.
