What’s Making Noises in Your Attic?
Different types of pests create distinct sounds. If you hear any of the following noises in your attic, it’s time to investigate.
1. Scratching and Scurrying Sounds
🐭 Rodents (Mice & Rats)
- Mice and rats move quickly and often scurry along the edges of your attic.
- They may also gnaw on wood, wires, and insulation.
2. Heavy Thumping or Loud Bumps
🐿️ Squirrels
- More active in the early morning and evening.
- Squirrels build nests in attics and may chew through wiring.
3. Flapping or Chirping Sounds
🐦 Birds
- Birds often enter attics through damaged vents or open eaves.
- Their droppings can create health risks and structural damage.
4. Growling or Screeching
🦝 Raccoons or Larger Wildlife
- Nocturnal animals like raccoons can be aggressive and destructive.
- They can rip apart insulation and create large entry holes.
Signs You Have Pests in the Attic
In addition to hearing noises in the attic, here are other signs that indicate a pest problem:
✔ Droppings – Small rodent droppings or larger faeces from raccoons and squirrels.
✔ Chewed Wires or Insulation – Damaged insulation and gnawed wiring pose fire hazards.
✔ Strong Odors – Urine and faeces from rodents and birds can create unpleasant smells.
✔ Nesting Materials – Twigs, leaves, and shredded paper could be signs of wildlife nesting.
If you notice any of these signs, acting fast before the problem escalates is crucial.
