Darian Herbert got quite the shock when she answered the door for her food delivery and a squirrel launched itself into her house.

Nothing could prepare the homeowner, nor the pizza delivery guy for that matter, for the chaos that ensued during a routine food delivery in Louisiana.

Homeowner Rodney Herbert's Nest camera footage showed a squirrel clinging onto the interior archway of the entrance as the delivery guy approached and rang the doorbell.


As the door opened, chaos ensued.

You can watch the hilarious TikTok clip shared by ABC News via Storyful, here.

Chaotic footage captured by a Nest camera shows an opportunistic squirrel launched itself into a home in Louisiana when the front door was opened to receive a food delivery. đŸżïžđŸ•đŸ€Ł #abc7la #news #abc7eyewitness #animalsoftiktok #squirrel #squirrelsoftiktok #animals #lousiana

When Herbert's wife Darian–who was off-camera–opened the door to receive the warm food order, the critter suddenly launched itself like a caped superhero through the open door.

Darian could be heard screaming bloody murder after the airborne woodland creature granted itself access.

The oblivious delivery guy–who had his back facing the stealthy critter the whole time and likely missed the lightning-speed action–looked on in confusion after initially being startled by her screech.

The camera continued capturing him with his hand stuck in the food order retrieval position and wondering how to proceed. Eventually, he pulled the food order out from the insulated delivery pouch when the screaming stopped.

Herbert was heard asking where the little intruder was so he could grab it and Darian–still in distress mode–yelled back:

"I don't f'kn know!"

An amused Herbert laughed over the pre-dinner mayhem and reported back to the delivery guy:

"Thank you. Squirrel got in I guess."

After realizing what all the fuss was about and clearly not having seen the flying squirrel make its landing, he replied, gobsmacked, "Oh my God!" and staggered off in shock.

TikTokers chuckled and and wondered how the delivery guy missed all the action.

Darian apparently had her eye on the squirrel prior to the incident.

According to ABC 7, she told Storyful she saw the squirrel outside her home when she went out to the store.

She said she "immediately went back inside," because she knew "it was going to jump" if she walked down the pathway.

Darian changed her exit strategy by using the backdoor to leave and re-enter to bring the groceries in.

"I just had a feeling," she said, suspecting the squirrel was just waiting for the right opportunity to gain entry.

"Well, Rodney ordered pizza, and I saw the pizza guy at the door," Darian said, adding that seeing the delivery guy "standing there with no problem" assured her it would be fine to go forth with the delivery transaction.

Well, we all know how that turned out.

Darien recalled:

"I ran to our dining room and stood on a chair and yelled at Rodney to come get it."

Eventually, he managed to boot the unwelcome guest and restored peace inside the home.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
