Do You Hear Rodents in the Walls, Attic or Crawlspace?

If you suspect there is a rodent in your wall, attic or crawlspace, there are several steps you can take to address the issue:

  1. Listen for Sounds: Try to listen for any scratching or scurrying sounds coming from the wall. Rats are often active at night, so you might hear them more clearly during the evening. Squirrels are active during day light and mice are active all day long.
  2. Inspect for Entry Points: Look for any openings or cracks in and around your home, especially near the suspected wall. Rodents can enter through small gaps, so sealing these entry points can prevent further infestation.
  3. Set Traps: Consider setting traps to catch the rodent. There are various types of traps available, including snap traps, live traps, and electronic traps. Place them in areas where you suspect rodent activity.
  4. Use Bait: Bait the traps with appropriate food, such as peanut butter. This can attract the rodent to the trap.

  6. Clean and Sanitize: Rodents can leave behind droppings and urine, which may pose health risks. Clean and sanitize the affected areas to reduce the chances of disease transmission.
  7. Prevent Future Infestations: Take measures to prevent future rodent infestations by keeping food stored in sealed containers, maintaining a clean living environment, and addressing any potential entry points.
