Squirrel got in, and tore up what look like vent pipes (see image). There was a nest there I cleared out.Pipes come up form floor and are located under the fridge. I assume it got in through the pipe and ripped it to shreds. Does anyone know what these pipes are for, and where they vent to and from?Pipes are made from dryer vent type of material.

They are ducts for the a/c--heating system. Go to Lowes and get some aluminized tape to patch them up. Oddly enough duct tape is not for use on ducts.

They are for delivering heated air from your furnace, hopefully that is all the damage in the photo and they did not leave urine or excrement behind.

Thank you for the information.Now I see it - makes sense - 3 ducts 3 floor vents. Not knowing whats in the ducts is going to lead me to replace them.I will be dropping the coroplast bottom and hopefully it's not that big of a job.

One solo pellet of snake poop every 10' protects my underneath wiring while in storage. Reticulated pythons are very common around here. Kids keep small ones as pets. I use 2 sided tape. Have to renew it once per year. No smell at all and just an occasional shriek and streak of mice and squirrels.

tell me how do you collect snake poop? lol just had to ask.
