I live in a shitty ass apartment and was woken up around 7am this morning to what I thought were sounds of someone shoveling snow - but it turns out that it's a wild animal stuck in my oven's fan air duct - I can hear it scratching as I'm typing this - I've already called and left a message for the property management company but they probably won't respond until tomorrow and I'm hoping the animal won't be dead.
I don't know WTF it is - a bird, squirrel, chipmunk, mouse, rat - but I'm not gonna take apart the fan and air duct to find out - and I'm dreading having a maintenance guy or an HVAC tech come do it.
How the fuck does something like this happen?
Especially when I'm on the 1st floor.
EDIT: The creature is stuck in the air vent that connects to the little hut that's (sometimes) above stoves - The fan on mine connects to a very small air duct - only big enough for animals mentioned above to get into.
