Theres Something Running Aroundbin My Attic At Nifhr

It doesn t sound like there are multiple creatures up there but i have a huge rodent phobia so it freaks me out.

Theres something running aroundbin my attic at nifhr. Rats and mice are nocturnal so the noise is almost always at night. Mostly light scampering and running across the ceiling or up and down the walls. I have heard it at random times not always the same. There must have been nearly a dozen of the little.

Usually i hear what sounds like a marble or something round being dropped and then rolling down and often that is followed by a running sound. If you hear noise in the wall it s often rodents. Periodically maybe four to five times a week i hear something running in my attic. Raccoons are also most likely to make vocal noises.

If you hear fluttering and chirping it could be bats or birds. If you hear it at night primarily it is either mice raccoons bats or in some cases a flying squirrel. If you hear thumping in your attic at night it s most likely a larger animal such as a raccoon or opossum engaged in jumping from one area of the attic to another actively shoving or destroying something or dragging something heavy. Good luck catching the miscreant.

This one is a little more vague but of course thumping usually comes from larger animals so it s most likely from raccoons or opossums. They can be very fast and you might at times think your mind is playing tricks on you. If the noise is a fast pitter patter at night especially if there s any noise going up and down the walls then it s likely rats or mice though it could be flying squirrels. And then we had a legion of squirrels living in the attic right next to my bedroom and i could hear them running around with their little scratching feet night after night.

Their movement is also very fast. Ultimately an inspection of the attic will tell you what animal you ve got.
