The Sonoma County homeowners called on Nick Castro, owner of Nick's Extreme Pest Control, when they spotted worms coming from a bedroom wall. They turned out to be mealworms, feasting on an incredible hoard of acorns, believed to be amassed by a pair of aptly named acorn woodpeckers.
"It was pretty incredible to see the amount," said Castro. He estimates there were at least 700 pounds of acorns, likely collected over the past two to five years. As they dropped from the attic, tens of thousands of acorns gathered from several nearby oak trees filled the cavity of the walls, Castro explained.
