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.

So yesterday, for the first time, I was able to see many marten tracks in the garden and on the roof, thanks to fresh snow. The live trap baited with eggs was set up, but the marten ignored it. However, it did find the bait eggs and ate them gratefully.
Now the trap will be placed where the bait eggs were. Let's see who ends up being smarter.
Please keep your fingers crossed—not for the marten. 🙂

GOMAGOYes, I would also consider trying this so-called marten repellent. It’s very effective from a marketing point of view, but I’m not sure what the practical experience is.
