Pest control work can uncover some unusual situations. Such is the case of Nick Castro, a resident of the state California, in the United States, who got a big surprise when they opened a hole in the wall and found a cache of bird seed. The images are shocking and only get worse when the pest control works. Check out the article and be amazed by the amount of seeds found.
It’s been over 20 years and Nick claims “I’ve never seen anything like it”
The discovery is rather odd and came after a family contacted his company to hire the pest control service. According to the family, the house was damaged by the action of a woodpecker living in the area.
You may be wondering: but how is it possible for the bird to damage the house? It’s easy. He drills holes in the wall to store food. In this California family’s home, the holes were drilled in the side of the house.
The food, which resembles a Brazil nut, was deposited in the hole in the wall. However, being round, it began to slip and fall into the gaps in the wall of the house.
Even before he called Pest Control, Nick had already imagined what he might find, but the result was even more surprising. It was enough to open a hole in the wall for the bird seed to fall out. But you won’t believe the crowd. See below:

Did this amount surprise you? But know that the little bird has deposited much more. The whole room of the house was flooded with fodder, which the woodpecker deposited against the wall. It was a veritable feast of seeds scattered throughout the room:

Nick is surprised and says that the seed fall all the time without a break. Enlarging the hole in the wall was enough to allow more seeds to spread. According to him, the bird stored enough food to fill the space up to the attic of the upstairs house.
When collecting the seeds, the amount was enough to fill eight large garbage bags, which is equivalent to more than 317 kg of bird seed stored indoors. Have you ever thought what you would do if you found something like this in your house? We bet you’ve never seen anything like this before!
