Hearing an unexpected noise inside your home can be unsettling, especially if you can't identify where it's coming from. Often times, an animal has made itself comfortable in your home (particularly your attic or walls) and creates a lot of noise moving around. Call 734.237.8692 if you hear any of these noises in your home and suspect an animal intruder.
Depending on what these noises sound like and where you hear them, it could several different animals. Learn more about different types of animal noises here:
- Scratching likely indicates an animal like a raccoon or opossum. Mice also scratch but the scratching sounds will match the size of a mouse.
- A noise like shuffling can often indicate that a larger animal like a raccoon is dragging an item across the floor, perhaps for nesting materials.
- Noises during the daytime usually mean that a squirrel is responsible — they are one of the only wildlife animals mainly active during the day.
- Chirping noises often belong to bats, who enjoy the dark isolated comfort that an attic provides them.
