Signs of animal in attic.

Clumps of sticks fiberglass leaves and shredded wood or insulation are common materials found in nests. You may hear scratching or thumping or scittering or nuts rolling around or even vocal noises. But you still don t know what type of animal or animals are up there. If you hear noises during the daytime it is probably a squirrel since they are only active during the day.

The first sign that most people will recognize when it comes to having wild animals in the attic will be the sound of scratching or gnawing coming down through the ceiling although spotting animals on the roof can also be a common sign. Sadly many animals get trapped in attics and die contributing to this unpleasant odour. If a wild animal is living in your attic you may hear or see tell tale signs. The first indicator of an animal problem in the attic is the noise.

Like humans animals like to bury in fluffy dry comfortable areas.
