Santa Rosa exterminator Nick Castro made the discovery during a December vacation rental inspection for mealworms in Glen Ellen, California, according to the Press Democrat.

When Castro cut a hole in a bedroom wall, 700 pounds of acorns came rushing out.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Castro, owner of Nick’s Extreme Pest Control, told the outlet. “The more acorns I pulled out from the wall, the more there were. It felt like it wasn’t going to end.”

  1. I’m not an expert. Is that a lot of acorns for a chimney? What’s a normal amount of acorns to find in your chimney?

  2. How many nuts can a Woodpecker chuck down a chimney? They need to put a capstone on that chimney that will stop birds animals and nuts from falling into their chimney and prevent hot sparks landing on the roof . It’s an inexpensive fix and safer for the wildlife .
