ᐅ Martens in the roof insulation – what can I do about it?

Hello,

For a few days now, a marten has been causing trouble in my roof. In a roof junction, it managed to bend the metal sheet (which was probably installed carelessly).

How can I get it out again?

I closed the access point, and there was peace for a few days. But last night, I heard noises again. Now it probably can’t get out anymore.

It is likely between the plasterboard interior lining and the roof membrane, inside the insulation.

It’s obvious that it may have damaged the vapor barrier, insulation, and underlay membrane.

Does anyone have any ideas on what should be done?

Thank you.

Ask the local forest ranger? Or possibly just reopen the access and hope it’s not dead yet. It will be glad to leave again.

Alternatively: Send a dachshund after it.

Hello icandoit

Although you are not a hunter and are not allowed to do this, I would get a marten trap, put a chicken wing inside, and when the marten is caught in the trap, release the animal some distance away.

I found some tracks in the snow today.
I’m going to try using a live trap. Hopefully, I won’t keep catching the neighbor’s cat.
Thanks.

I hope it goes quickly. I’ve seen it at my neighbor’s house, where it caused a lot of damage. It tore apart all the membranes, pulled out the insulation, and most importantly, took its trapped animals with it—blackbirds, pigeons, mice, etc.
So hurry up with setting the traps.

I recently read something about a product called GOMAGO.
