Hearing scratching noises in your attic or walls can be unsettling, but there are steps you can take to address the situation:
-
Contact Go Green Pest Control: If you’re unable to identify or handle the issue yourself, consider contacting Go Green Pest Control, we inspect your home, identify the pest problem, and recommend appropriate treatment measures.
-
Stay Calm: It’s natural to feel alarmed, but staying calm will help you think more clearly and take appropriate action.
-
Investigate: Try to pinpoint the source and location of the scratching noises. Listen carefully to determine if the sounds are coming from the attic, walls, or elsewhere.
-
Check for Signs of Pests: Look for signs of pests such as droppings, gnawed materials, or holes in walls or ceilings. Common pests that may cause scratching noises include rodents (mice, rats), squirrels, bats, or birds.
-
Seal Entry Points: If you suspect pests are the cause, inspect your home for any potential entry points and seal them off to prevent further intrusion. Remember to check vents, chimneys, and gaps around pipes or cables.
-
Monitor the Situation: After taking initial steps, continue to monitor the situation to ensure the scratching noises don’t return. Regularly inspect your attic and walls for any signs of pests or new entry points.
-
Take Safety Precautions: If you suspect there may be larger animals, such as raccoons or bats, avoid approaching them yourself and seek professional assistance. These animals can be dangerous and may carry diseases.
Remember, addressing pest issues promptly can help prevent potential damage to your home and ensure the safety and comfort of you and your family.
