shingle vent all the way at the top of roof. Not all houses have these. but i'm pretty sure this is how their droppin in. I had a roofer years ago...nail it down good. But I guess it's flappin around again.

1) How they even get up there, i'm still not 100% on...I hear they can scale the gutters on all houses. anybody else know if this is true? I've never, not once heard or seen an animal (mouse, rat, squirrel) go into or even make noise in those gutters...their aluminum so it should be loud and easily heard.

2) If not the gutters, they could possibly sneak under the siding and find a groove around and up.

3) jumping off a tree ...and landing on roof. But I don't have that issue.

So it's either 1) or 2) for me.

As could be seen from image, they drop in....thinking it's paradise. but uhh o....once their inside. No holes or openings to exit.

but yea....then stinks like shit for like 3 weeks. that garlicky + rotten smell is the worst....the stench practically fumigates your clothes if ur inside long enough. burns throat.
