A homeowner called an exterminator after they found worms coming out of the wall and assumed there was a dead animal inside the walls. However, what the exterminator found shocked everyone.
Nick Castro from Nick’s Extreme Pest Control in Santa Rosa posted photos on the company’s Facebook page showing thousands of acorns pouring out of a hole in the wall of a home. The now-viral video all over social media shows Castro scooping out handfuls of nuts. He repeatedly scoops out more as the stockpile covers the entire floor.
“Bird was a bit of a hoarder,” Castro joked on social media.
In the end, the acorns fille dup eight garbage bags and weighed a total of 700 pounds. Castro told The Press Democrat that he was examining the home for mealworms. He estimated that the acorns were towering 20-25 feet high in the home’s chimney. He thinks that a pair of acorn woodpeckers were building the stockpile for at least two or three years at that point.
“The more acorns I pulled out from the wall, the more there were. It felt like it wasn’t going to end,” Castro told the newspaper.
The acorn collection has now gone viral on social media and people have some hilarious things to say about it.
“Omg these woodpeckers are more prepared for retirement than I am,” one person commented on Instagram.
“The woodpeckers: “I’ll never financially recover from this” another commented.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
