Stone Marten (Martes foina)

Stone martens, or simply martens, are predatory animals that can grow up to 75 cm in size. To the dismay of many homeowners, martens often make themselves comfortable in attics, where they not only keep people awake but can also destroy parts of the insulation. Often, martens cause odor nuisance because large areas of the attic are contaminated with feces, or because the marten has dragged prey into the attic, which then remains there and decomposes. If you have a marten in your attic, you should deter (drive away) it to prevent further damage, and then seal the roof to prevent it from re-entering.
