How to Determine if There’s an Animal in Your Walls or Attic

If you hear scratching, scurrying, or rustling noises, especially at night, you might have animals in your walls or attic. Other signs include unusual odors, droppings, or visible damage where they may have chewed their way inside.

Beyond being a nuisance, these unwelcome guests can cause structural damage, chew through electrical wiring, which creates a major fire hazard, and introduce health risks through their droppings or parasites.

Addressing the problem involves locating entry points and using traps or bait, but without sealing off access, new intruders can quickly take their place. Pest control professionals, like Xceptional Wildlife Removal, provide thorough inspections, humane trapping, and secure all potential entryways to ensure wildlife stays out for good.

How Do I Learn What Species Is in My Wall?

You can often determine what kind of animal is inside your wall by the sounds it makes. Smaller creatures tend to create quick, light scurrying noises, while larger animals, such as raccoons, are more likely to produce loud thumps or persistent scratching.

How Do I Get the Animal Out of the Wall?

To remove animals from your walls, start by identifying the species and placing traps while sealing entry points to prevent reentry. This process requires caution to avoid harming the animals or causing property damage. If left unaddressed, the situation can lead to unpleasant odors and attract additional pests.

This is where professional wildlife removal can make all the difference. Xceptional Wildlife’s specialists use effective, humane techniques to remove unwanted wildlife and prevent future invasions, keeping your home secure and pest-free.
