100% a person. Someone would be shot alright, it won't be me and that'll be easier to deal with than the roaches. A phone call to the coroner and $5 worth of peroxide and bleach (along with maybe $10 of 5.56 or $5 of 9mm) is much easier than having to book a hotel that takes cats, move me and my cats, and pay a guy to poison my house, and trash or move all food outside the fridge (I assume, because poison), and the catbox, etc. And it's not just the 1000, if there's 1000 visible, there's way more.
If someone is living in your attic you don't think they have already figured out what you are armed with and are more prepared than you?
I'd take the person over the roaches too, but a person living in your attic has a knowledge advantage AND knows where you keep your weapons.
My attic is a dark, cramped space with no windows and a ton of insulation. What kind of attic do you have where someone living up there can see and hear everything that happens in the main living space?
Or rather, what have you done to think that someone with a complete dossier on you has resorted to occupying your attic in order to get the jump on you?
These days if you find someone living in your attic then it's most likely a drifter looking for shelter. Better to find a man down on his luck than a large colony of pests.
About 3 rooms of genuinely usable space where someone could live if they wanted to safe for shitty insulation and dust everywhere.
Also yeah I agree on the drifter point. on my other list I brought it up on the reasons why I'd prefer a person. There's a good chance they can be reasoned with.
