Something In My Roof At Night

Something in my roof at night.

You ll hear the light pitter patter of tiny feet but perhaps also gnawing sounds. So scratching sounds in the attic at night could be from a number of different nocturnal animals. Just like with the possum tune in your ears at night because that s when rats and mice are the most active. It is elevated insulated and well out of harm s way.

Other causes of sounds in a roof can be tree branches rubbing on the roof or eaves. Raccoons in the attic at night because raccoons are the largest animal that will break into your attic or home it is also the easiest to identify. The most common place raccoons will occupy in your home is the attic. Stations are not required as we are confident that no possums are present.

They can cause all sorts of damage and make noise all through the night. Rats love to live in the roof space of our homes. Usually heard only when the wind is blowing or expansion and contraction of timbers and gutters as the roof warms up during the day or cools down at night. It could even be from the heating cooling system or branches of a nearby tree scraping against the roof.

Rats and mice will gnaw at almost anything to keep their teeth worn down and sharp or enlarge openings and holes for easier access.
