Animal Noises in Attics and Walls
At Rid-A-Critter, we get a lot of calls from people who hear noises coming from their attics or walls. In all honesty, listening to people trying to imitate the noises they hear can be pretty comical. But animal noises in a home are no laughing matter.
There are many animals who live in the attics, walls, and other structural voids of houses and other buildings and create health and fire risks. Birds and bats contaminate attics with droppings, shed hair or feathers, and parasites. Bird nests can also create a fire hazard. Gray squirrels, flying squirrels, rats and mice move into attics, wall voids, and chimneys and cause structural damage, contaminate the attic with their droppings, shed hair, and parasites, and gnaw on electrical wiring. Raccoons also get into attics and chimneys where they cause damage and health risks (in addition to making a mess).
In short, hearing animal noises in your home can be a sign of a serious animal or pest problem, so don't ignore them or blame then on the wind brushing branches against your home. Call Rid-A-Critter for a prompt, no-obligation inspection by a professional urban wildlife control technician just to be sure.
