👻 Spooky sounds in the attic?
That scratching, scurrying, thumping, or squeaking above your ceiling might be more than your house settling.
🐀 Light scratching or scurrying at night could point to roof rats or mice.
🐿️ Running and scratching during the day may mean squirrels.
🦝 Heavy footsteps or thumping at night could be a larger visitor like a raccoon.
🦇 Fluttering or squeaking around dusk or dawn may be a sign of bats or birds.
The sound can give you clues, but it usually takes more than noise alone to figure out exactly what has moved in. Droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, damaged insulation, and entry points can all help identify the problem.
If those spooky sounds keep coming back, don’t ignore them. Let Pro 1 Pest Control figure out what’s making the noise and how it got there.
