Bat Remediation Recommendations
by Laura Abbott 29 Dec '24

29 Dec '24

Looking for a second opinion on sealing up our house from bats. We had someone out at the beginning of November after one got in. The work was completed but a second one got in last week. The person came out again to double check the previous work and said the bat was probably still hibernating after everything was sealed up. I heard noises in a different part of the house last night so I’d like a fresh set of eyes to see if they can spot any entrances. Thanks, Laura P.S. https://www.alleghenycounty.us/files/assets/county/v/1/government/health/do… has instructions for dropping off specimens for testing. They’ve been very helpful and prompt, the only good thing in this entire experience.

Girl Scout Christmas Tree Recycling 2025 Sign Ups are live
by Girl Scout Troop 52498 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

Hello neighbors: Merry Christmas! This is our 10th Anniversary of picking up Christmas Trees to deliver to the City of Pittsburgh's tree recycling drop offs. We are very proud of the program that we have built, and that the program now extends to a big chunk of the City of Pittsburgh, with other troops also collecting trees. Last year, the combined effort kept *over 325 trees *out of the landfill and saved families the drive to drop the tree off. We will be collecting trees this year on Sunday, January 5. Here is the link to sign up if you live in Highland Park, Morningside, East Liberty or Larimer: https://forms.gle/NzUfE5SqLALy42qYA If you live in other city neighborhoods or would like to share information about the program with friends, this flyer has links to all of the troops doing the pickups: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oGuyGAE8hKrLYWGyCjrIbGSZDzdjGU4bcbJfifl… If you can't make that January 5 date, please check with the city's webpage for details about drop off locations and dates: https://www.pittsburghpa.gov/Resident-Services/Trash-Recycling/Drop-Off-Inf… Once you sign up, and after we get closer to the pick up date, you will receive an email with more details. Wishing you all a peaceful New Year! -- Heather and Melissa gstroop52498(a)gmail.com

My Missing Cat
by Emily Nicholson 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

My cat, Mikey, was let outside around 7:30 pm on Christmas Day and he hasn’t come home. He’s an indoor-outdoor cat but he has never been gone for 24 hours before. He’s a black and white tuxedo, about 10lbs, roughly 2 years old, very friendly and affectionate, knows his name, not shy, excellent hunter. He doesn’t wear a collar (we’ve tried), but he is microchipped and his left ear is tipped due to being taken to a feral spay/neuter clinic earlier in his life. Due to being involved in animal rescue for a number of years, I’m very well-versed in all of the online and offline places one should check when searching for a lost pet; thus, I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond ONLY if you have seen Mikey or know where he is. To anyone who might have taken him in, believing him to be lost/stray - thank you for your good intentions, but please understand that he is very loved and missed by our family, including our 10-year-old daughter. If you let him into your house, please let him go and he will come home to us. He knows where he lives. Sent from my iPhone
