- We get numerous calls and questions from clients about hearing sounds in their walls and attics, wanting to know what kind of animal is living up there. Could be a squirrel? a raccoon? do I have mice, bats or birds living in my attic? Are you hearing lots of noises in your ceilings at night?
If you're hearing sounds you probably do have a wild animal living in your attic, and even though this video will help give you a good idea of what type of animal is crawling around your walls and attic, remember it's always best to call the professionals who will make an accurate determination as to what animal it is and humanely remove the creature from your home safely.
In this video we'll provide you with some basic tips on determining the type of creature you may have living in your home, but to get better information as to our removal process simply visit this link.

I watch too many scary movies, and I start hearing man sized footsteps in my attic, great, racoons, just. great.
Lol
@@spiritualricardo1265 2 years?? holy hell. I moved out longer than it feels like!
I’m having the same problem now lol 😂 Jesus help me!
Bruh I hear scratching
No it didn't answer my question I need to hear the noises of the creature to confirm its the same noise I am hearing in my attick I can't explain the noise its not a noise mice make or squirrels if anything maybe a mix between mice squirrels and bats at the same time lol all huddled up into 1 corner in my ceiling
Me too, i hear kind of foots steps and drawers opening and closing
@ERYN FONTAINE yes that what i thought
@@Edcvfr847 lol fck Cinderella they can make me a new dress tho 😂😂
just me chillin in your attic with a full home camera system lol jk
SAME... I've been at it for hours looking for what could possibly be in my ceiling.
I guess I have raccoons 😭 it literally sounds like someone is jumping around up in the attic !
Is it sorted? How is everything?
Same, ughhhh I gotta set a trap up there.
subway surfers gaming girl super late reply , but I ended up moving. We could not get rid of them.
Theresa Zackary traps didn’t work for me :(
me too 😭 i figured there was rats (or according to this vid probably actually squirrels) since i hear the scurrying of their ft but tonight (1st time) it’s 2am and i just hear THIS it’s def another animal like it’s just loud thumpy slow it sounds like a human being but ik better 😭⁉️
This definitely helped ! Mines is definitely raccoons it’s sounds like a damn squatter in the attic !
1 yr later and you never found out what it was
That logo is hilarious
This was a great video! I started hearing a scratching, thumping kind of noises coming from the wall a couple days ago. It sounds loud to me but I think that's because it usually happens in dead silence. It does stop when I hit the wall but quickly resumes after a minute or two. It would seem that I have a sleep terrorizing mouse.
Um I’m scared it sounds like there’s 20 animals in my floor rn
For some reason this made me laugh, but yeah thats terrifying.
It's all the sounds you just explained combined!!! I haven't slept for 3 days! I might go crazy already! Please just someone help me out
I had to call a wildlife service. Reg exterminators don't do raccoons, squirrels, etc.
Its 2 IN THE MORNING and i thought the grudge was scratching my inner walls this video just calmed my nerves
Excellent video, thanks for explaining that. I was thinking squirrel but it’s definitely a mouse. It’s funny how they all sound bigger than what they really are from inside the wall. Lol
This was super helpful! I’m pretty sure now that I have squirrels in my walls and ceilings!
shit i have mice
Shit. sounds like raccoons squirrel's and mice up there!
Lol! Oh my! It's a wildlife party!
How do they even get in?
I started hearing a loud racket in my wall right around lunch time. It sounded similar to the "house settling" noises. I checked the wind speed today to see if maybe it could be the wind affecting something outside, but it's not even windy today. One thing that makes me nervous is that I banged on the wall really hard, and it seems to have stopped. I also researched the temps due to "popping" sounds that can be caused by expansion of home materials, and it's been about 30 at night and close to 60 during the day. Right now it's 50 degrees. I'm not sure if that would be a possibility in this case.
Thanks for the description. It was very helpful! I heard the kind of chewing sound and light footsteps in the ceiling above my bed and I thought I trapped one of my pets in my rooms. The YOU describe exactly the sound it makes as mice.
Cool video! I love observing earth, explore and slow down...
Wonderful!!! I think we have Bats in wall. Hear at night and right before Sun comes up.....Guess they heard me say I was going to build a bat house, and I did not get it done quick enough so they built their own under the planks of our wood siding
the attic is right bove my room and im constantly hearing scratches and squeaking t might be the water idk just wondering
I have soooo many squirrels I’m frickin dying trying to sleep
Same I literally wake up so early bc of them and I’m pretty sure a squirrel gave birth bc all I hear is non stop crying and wheezing 😭😭😭(they also run around the walls sooo much😭)
LOL SAME
The way you described it is perfect. It's only in the morning. I hit the wall, or slam the cabinet door and it stops for about a minuted.
Helpful; Thank you!
I hear scratching and squeaking at day and night. I live in a studio apartment, so it's only four walls, the scratching is only behind one of the walls. It's a quiet squeaking near the bottom corner but the scratching I hear in different areas of that wall. There's an attic above my apartment. I have no evidence of mice, no holes or droppings anywhere, when my mom's house had a mice infestation there where holes in the walls of the closets and droppings on the counters and in the cabinets, and they only seemed to come out at night. I'm thinking possibly there's a squirrel nest in the wall between my apartment and the neighbors.
What about loud chewing or nawing sound and scratching sound? Happens a lot at night. I never hear it in the day. I don’t have an attic. I have an open truss vaulted ceiling.
This video was very helpful snd exactly what i was looking for!
I'm not sure what's in our ceiling. I genuinely thought it was the dog (a very small dog is what we have) running around upstairs the first time. It will run around every so often at around 9-12 am. No idea what it is. But it sounds like a dog trotting across the ceiling.
I currently live in NYC
AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY RATS SCRATCHING AT THE WALLS .ITS SO CREEPY .I have to beat on the walls constantly ! Can't wait to move
Dam I feel bad
I put a mouse trap with a little peanut butter at the opening and it solved my problem. It was a roof rat.
what about just a straight up constant sound? It's like rain drops falling faintly, but it's all day and all night, and it's not raining. If I bang on the wall/ceiling (it's a slanted ceiling), nothing stops or changes. Could be electrical or something??
There’s something in my ceiling only around 6 and 5 am. I can hear it scratching a scurrying.
Meggo Ryan
its exactly the same for me. it’s pretty loud scurry so probably not mice. i actually woke up at like 5:45 this morning and went here.
Whatever I have right now sounds like someone sawing a 2x4 lol
Langerhan Hungers those might be termites or carpenter ants. That's the sound of them enjoying the hell out of your house
wait, actually same.
does anyone know wth it is
same, ever find out what it is? I usually only hear scrapping around, but one night sounded like someone was up there sawing away with a hand saw.
Yeah It does sound like someone with a hand saw!!!
thats a squirrel
Just had an exterminator tromping around the attic at my work trying to determine if it’s bats or mice. I think I’m already more experienced after this video, thanks. Too bad he didn’t look the same though....
I have both squirrels and rats! The squirrels sound like they are wrestling, and bowling with the pecans from our yard in the attic. I hear the scratching on the other side of the attic and in the walls, when I tap the wall it stops. Yep! Just as I thought two different critters. Thanks for the information.
Hiii I think I have the same thing as you and I'm curious what you did for that? Because there's lots of squirrals around my house I see them running around every single day
Thanks for this video! Mine is not that clear cut, though. I hear banging sounds and scurrying around starting at about 9am up until 2 pm. Then sometimes later on in the early evening as well. So what's that? I'm afraid to go up there!
I had a bat flying around my room 6 weeks ago. A professional removed it. Now (Just today.) I hear a high pitched screeching noise during the day in my bedroom walls or attic. It's really creeping me out. I hope there's not a Bat nest living in there or any other animals. I'm nervous to sleep in my room.
i once had SICK bats on my balcony, i feel ur pain
Da fuck?!?!?!? What kind of cave do you live in?
This helped so much! I am definitely dealing with a squirrel problem!
i’m 14 so obviously i go to school from 8-4pm and at night when i’m in my room (the attic is basically right above my room) and i’ve been hearing scratchy/creaky noises and maybe stuff moving and i’m a rlly paranoid person so ty for this!!
Where are your parents??? Get off the internet and read a book
@@Katiekay. so I cant come on the internet to look up a question? weird..
great video
We just renovated the floor upstairs and had to replace the old board below the carpet with dodgy ply whilst making the transition to a nicer floor so it could have given rodents an opportunity to get in the floor, witch is quite loose so could just be that but it is extremely loud and can hear things falling in the wall.
I am hearing a noise behind my walls inside my home
how about RATS? I hear something running around in my garage attic, 8 PM EST when I'm spraying peppermint oil mixture up there and also only in living-room when I hear something just make a noise in the wall at 5PM EST, there's also a stain on the ceiling - roofer said not rain too. IN FLORIDA, we have opossums too,
In 6 years only 276 subscribes ??? Why ??
I think I have an entire zoo in my attic
What I hear every once in a while are little squeaks in my attic. I live in Minnesota and I heard them once in December 2019 and again around October 2020. I also could hear scampering noises but I never heard any scratches. Every once in a while I’d hear a loud scamper noise that’s followed by a squeal or hissing
Update November 2021 - the noises are back lmao 🤦♂️
It’s a squirrel 🐿 💯🤦🏻♀️I had the same thing and They were living between the walls I had to pay fortune to remove them. Now they are back again I think😞
Mice squeak all night in different frequencies. They're communicating with each other. This is what I'm going through right now in my apartment. They are extremely smart.
What are they talking about?
I have a bat in my ceiling. Saw it flying around outside my home recently too. I don't know how to get it out but I don't think it can get into the living area and I dont think theyre destructive so I guess it will just live there above me.
So mine sounds like literally if someone would push a couch from one place to an other. I also hear scratches and sometimes knocking. But the couch dragging/pushing sound is really really loud and it almost sounds like the wind is blowing really hard outside
Great job in explaining 👍🏻
I hear tapping on my roof.you can even hear it walking on the roof. I still don't know what the hell is on my roof. It 3 in the morning
We are having a vibrating sound coming from above... it's a low sound that comes and goes and not heard every day. I could say almost sounds like a wood pecker picking on a tree but it's low and hollow sounding! Creeping me out as I just heard it this morning. Any idea what it could be?
thank you. i clearly have a mice problem.
what made you say i want to catch rats for a living?
I'm hearing a noises that's completely unlike any of the ones you mentioned
same here! I need to know what it is! At times it sounds like a person even! I have got to figure this out!! its driving me crazy!
@@rhondagammon8102 Me too!!
A rat? Like a mouse but everything is louder
Yeah i think I have a squirrel- I have been hearing noises near my desk area, exactly as described for the squirrel and at first i thought i mouse had gotten into my desk but nothing was there. That was about two weeks ago at like 3 in the morning. and then yesterday morning I hear noises again this time near my bed and I have 4 windows, 2 of which are dormers and I just assumed it was the snow melting and dripping. And then again this morning and there is no longer melting snow and then again at like 7pm I was chatting with my mum in her room which is right below my bedroom (im on the 3rd floor) and we start hearing scratching in the ceiling and at first I thought it was one of my two cats because one was in the room with me and my mum but then the second cat comes charging in and we continued hearing the noise. So now we have a damn squirrel in between my floor and my mums ceiling. First the stinkbugs living rent free and now a squirrel
who do i call in the uk? i have what it seems like mice or squirrels. in ceiling
Thank you for the very helpful video! I guess I have a mouse or rat in my wall 😬
I've heard no movement sounds, no thudding or scampering, just very loud scratching and gnawing consistently at 6-8 in the morning and 8-11 at night. Louder than house mice, and whatever it is it does not care at all if you yell and bang on the walls or ceiling. Occasionally hear some really weird sort of cooing noises that make me absolutely think it couldn't be a rodent. Can't decide what it could be.
I hear a really really soft squeak, like that toy chicken that kids squeeze and does a funny sound, but just imagine softer and just the end of that sound. Any idea?
I'm pretty sure I have a squirrel or a nest of squirrels in my wall that they're getting into from the garage. I hear scratching, scurrying but when I bang on the wall you hear chittering, chattering like squirrels. I have been listening to sound bites of mice vs squirrels and it sounds more like a squirrel. I definitely don't want any wildlife in my walls. :(
The sound I here is a heavy sound and sounds like someone stepped on a squeaky floorboard in my attic. HOWEVER it's always in the same spot. I don't here it anywhere else. I have a ton of stuff up there and don't see any evidence of any disruption. Also it happens all day. Not isolated to night. It sounds more like a creaking water pipe but there is no pipes up in my attic. It's driving me crazy.
I also hear that sound, did you find out what it is??
Okay but what I am hearing is like.... A knocking sound. It is not associated with water running. It's not consistent. It does stop when I like pound on the wall but it's a clear knocking.
Me too! Mine happens during the day. Did you find out what it was?
Well I definitely have mice chewing in a wall. It’s 3am and I knocked on the wall and it stopped chewing for about a minute then continued on chewing. I’m gonna cut a small hole and drop in a few mouse poison cakes and see if he wants a midnight snack!!
problem is that they will die in your walls and then the smell and flies become the problem
These comments scaring me no cap 😭 lmaooo. I’m getting raccoon vibes based on the sounds in my attic and everyone is saying they couldn’t get rid of them. I’ll be going up there tomorrow to inspect. If they don’t go away I guess ima be living with some raccoon goons.
Ikr,I’m shaking rn
haven't heard any chewing but i think it might be a mouse because earlier i smacked the wall and it shut up and scratching noise resumed up and to the left and eventually in the ceiling, altho it scampered away when i turned on my overhead light smh
this animal is living in the wall and it comes back to the same spot around the same time between 1am and 2am what would this be? sounds like a squarl or could it be a something else? it sounds like something digging and chewing wood any idea ?
It’s 1:30 am and I’m hearing scratching in my attic
None of these described the noises i hear. Like around the same time every morning i hear a noise between the walls, sounds like someone is knocking at the door but inside the walls.
What about possums?
The scratching has stated since the after noon and it's morning now. It stops for a while I guess. It is pretty loud but no other noises. It is not in the attic but in the walls. I have no clue what to do!
Have u figured it out yet
PLEASE ANSWER SOMEONE:
so my sound is like a bunch of tapping. tap tap tap. sometimes it's consistent but sometimes it's erratic and it goes taptaptaptap, slows pace/ups pace. It doesn't seem to respond much to be banging on the wall, i have no idea what it is. I feel like I may have heard a scratch or two but it's mostly taps.
Did you ever find out what it is? I am going through the same thing.
also, opossums. if one dies under you house (or worse in your wall) you will smell it for awhile! flies will gather for a long time... if you bang on the wall where it is and it hisses, that may be an opossum. they like dark places during day being nocturnal so if you hear a slow scamper during the day in your ceiling like in a drop down ceiling space for can lights or in a wall next to the edge of house and the floor if you have pier/beams then maybe opossum. raccoons tend to be in a family group and chatter, bark, growl... sometimes hiss but you'll probably here them chatter and bark as well as scamper away faster... but a mad opossum in a tight space will just hiss and slowly waddle away. I've caught them all! except bats - because they are protected, should be tested for rabies, and texas requires license. opossums, mice, raccoons, squirrels you gotta catch them and relocate quick before they start nesting!!!... then your problem will be much more difficult. try pulling baby squirrels all snuggled together out of 3 inch gap in cross beam. i made a mistake thinking their parents were long gone... they came out of nowhere and wanted to bite my face off. ha! better to catch the parents first. :) Or, try cleaning out raccoon family scat and redoing a lot of your ducts because of raccoon family. O got a call once where the tenant, a 19yr old college student woke up to a raccoon staring at her through her ac vent. ha! I eventually caught the whole family, relocated, and had to do a ton of sheetrock and ac duct work for them to fix it all. Oh and don't get me started on rattlesnakes. baby rattle snakes are vicious and they hide in corners and under stuff in garages...and some don't rattle before striking. not cool
I hear foots steps and drawers opening and closing after midnight
Somewhat helpful i guess. I was just hearing a mix of what seems like a squeak or screech in the wall at 1030am. Trying to nap in my son's bed and his bed is right against this wall. I cant really describe the sound but it's disturbing.
Where are y’all based?
It’s cold right now where I live and I hear loud scratching and a whining sound
Bats can get between your siding and the walls and you will hear them most all night scratching and sqweeking
theres this creature that lifts up a flap to get in a and out of a pipe that leads outside. Its very loud... theres squeeky babies i hear now... but its nothing bigger than a fist size, would this be a rat?
I hear noises during the day when I get home or just in general. It's only above my room and its loud and annoying
We hear ours in the late morning/early afternoon and around dinner time. It just made this loud drill like noise. Woodpecker maybe? Idk but it freaked my husband and myself out.
What the yes exactly I hear a drilling sound too. I have recorded this. I know we have over 150 wasps because I have seen them
@@My_Secret_ArtSketchbook Oh wow! An update on my situation: it was squirrels that broke into our attic
@@teairraweiss4195 Squirrels make drilling noises? What was the process to get them removed, and was it expensive?
@@valentinahernandez7291 Yeah, I guess they do. I also heard loud scratching and some pitter patter as well. Almost like footsteps! They broke in through our mesh closing and tore up some of our insulation. It cost us $1200 for pest control. They fixed the mesh and installed some metal up there to prevent them from coming back in and they left two huge traps up in our attic just in case. Never had a problem since!
The things I have sound like kittens when they’re running through the house at 3 am. It’s across the ceiling and sometimes down the wall and back up. But I swear it’s kittens
It's in the morning but it's very fast movement I think it's a rat or a squirrel
Install Evictor Strobe Lights. Within 3 days, Gray Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, Roof Rats, Norway Rats, Possums, Bobcats and Skunks will leave, taking babies with them. Raccoons, tend to pick the Evictor off the hook and relocate, thus, Evictor Strobe chain needs to be screwed to a rafter. Each Evictor Strobe Light has 175,000 Candlepower, strobing twice per second.
I have a mice in my home and my mom doesn’t believe me, great
Sounds like a woodpecker sound in my walls early in the morning
YES this is exactly what I am hearing as well
Sounded like that for me tonight!
In my apartment at 10am
I thought maintenance was working on the roof..... Its a racoon....can/will it eat through the ceiling/wall?
Yes and will eventually ironically land on your face while sleeping
I keep hearing scratching and when I bang on the wall it doesn’t stop. I think it’s a mouse and I think they got in by my family redoing the floor so the baseboards are gone
Emma Rodriguez wasp was scratching
Well now i think its wasps for me aswell
ik he said the raccoon sound is undeniable but could a sound just like that also be a possum? i was looking on the internet and found that they sound pretty much the same but raccoons might have babies which screech and that’s the only diff ? texas. j curious not like it matters lol … ive known there has been rats (or according to this vid probably squirrels) in my walls since i hear the scurrying of their ft in there all the time but now it’s 2am i was just sitting here and i hear this new sound this loud ass slow heavy thumping that sounds like a whole ass person walking in my wall 🙃 so terrifying but now that i looked it up and know it’s a raccoon/possum i feel better lol
Great I think we got mice in my bathroom wall... I'll hear it scratching at like 4am I'll bang on the wall, it'll stop......... then start again. We used to keep out xmas decor in the attic and found our stuffed Santa's ass stuffed with bird seed last year. Wonder who did thaaaaat 👀
Question is can a squirrel break in while they running and scratching?
shiiit that's the real question bro
Right, like through the fireplace maybe? My cats’ gonna have a field day.
I guess I have all three or a really fat erratic mouse
What about snakes in the walls? What sound is that?
I hear isolated scratching and ate night snoring. What animal is that.
Also, nesting birds raising a family in your eaves can sound very much like rats and mice, as they come and go to feed their chicks.
Thanks.from the sound of it I have a mouse. We will be looking at how it perhaps got in and trying a few things. If it does not work an exterminator will be called.
In my attic it sounds like a haunted cat-like noise with quiet every now and then, what is it idk
Can you hear spiders if you have coving on your Celling like could you hear them inside the coving because I can hear a small scratching noise in my room at night and I have very bad arachnophobia so I can’t research anything because I can’t really look at them ???
ITŽ MÊGÂÑ X The answer is no.
What if you were in Australia? Could you hear the spiders then?
@@nobody_nothing_nowhere NO not even...
What if I'm hearing a sliding sound in the evening?
That's a 🐍!!! I believe as I have heard the same sound, and one night came home to a brown snake stretched out over 2 chairs on my front veranda and wrapped once around 1 of my chair's closest to my front door and just noticed the snake in my peripheral. Thank God I had a tinny little torch on my keyring to see in the dark as outside light was NOT WORKING!!! \0/..... Now I have loud scratching, knocking, and and saw like sounds!
Mine come at night and they sound like a large ass human is crouched down running from one side to the other.
Me too!! I hope it's not a raccoon. I can't take it's so annoying I'm afraid whatever it is will come crashing thru my bedroom ceiling.😯
I heard in one night a seven-knocking noises in the walls all over my grandma's home. It typically happens when I went to sleep. I was sleeping on a hammock one time around full night hours and heard knocking noises in all four corners. I thought it was a raccoon for some reason. But since I live in a entirely different country, Maybe I might've saw a mouse in one holes above my room. So every night, I CAN'T SLEEP?!
I hear chirping but it is a heavy walk around I've seen possums crawl into the attic and definitely many rats and mice but this is different
squirrels chirp
Sounds like a raccoon. They have various noises they make which if I remember correctly can be chirping
I hear running in my attic - ughhhh I wonder what it is
me, too!! I need to know what this is!!!
You didn't mention birds
