Exterminators were called to a North Bay home, after the property owner reported seeing maggot-like worms coming out of the walls. What workers found surprised even the most seasoned exterminators: more than 700 pounds of acorns stacked up in the walls.
Company owner Nick Castro told KTVU that back in December, his crew was called to the property because the homeowners reported seeing little maggot-like worms coming out of the wall. Upon inspection, they found out it was actually mealworms that the owners had seen, which have been associated with acorns, and that the real issue was that the property had been doubling as a personal granary for a group of winged vandals.
Workers actually got a glimpse of the suspects at work while on the job site. Castro said several woodpeckers came by to continue their stockpiling work by creating more holes to the home's chimney area. And it seemed the birds that decided to make use of that Glen Ellen home for storage purposes also got pretty creative in finding ways to stash their loot.
Castro and his team spent the whole day hauling out eight large garbage bags full of the woodpecker's stockpile. They also covered up the holes and closed up areas that the birds were using to fly into the home's attic.
