SIGNS OF ATTIC INTRUSION

• Seeing bats enter or leave

• Sounds coming from your attic (scratching, squeaks, or pitter-patter of feet)

• Guano or feces in the attic, or on roof or the siding 

• Insulation that’s been damaged, moved, or even formed into a nest

• Tunneling (Looks like holes in the insulation. It is from mice and squirrels burrowing in the insulation 

• Finding walnuts, pine nuts, and bird seed in your attic

• Unexplained odors

• Newly chewed or existing holes (Bats can get through a hole as small as a 3/8 inch or the size of a dime)

• Chewed wiring

Raccoons 

    These animals can carry diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and worse. Raccoons can carry round worms, and humans can become infected by inhaling or swallowing the roundworm eggs found in their feces. These animals will defend themselves with claws and teeth if they feel threatened. Rarely will these vermin leave on their own and it is not uncommon to find they have met their demise in your attic. Raccoons are extremely destructive. 

Rats and Mice 

     Rats and mice can carry ticks, fleas, mites, and lice. They are destructive chewers and leave behind urine and feces. Though these creatures are small, they can wreak major havoc in your home. 

Squirrels

     Scurrying, scratching, and insulation that has been damaged are signs of squirrels. You may also see nuts, seeds, and pinecones in your attic. Squirrels can carry fleas and tick and are notorious for damaging insulation and leave behind urine and feces.

Bats

     You may hear bats moving around, scratching, or squeaking in the early morning and evening. You may also hear high-pitched chirping or the sound of their wings flapping through insulation. Bats may enter attics for a variety of reasons, including to hibernate, give birth, or take shelter from the weather. They can squeeze through an opening the size of a dime. They typically roost in the same location and give off their location by looking for guano. While bats can be beneficial to the local ecosystem because they eat insects and mosquitoes, bat infestations can also cause health risks and unsightly messes. Bat guano can corrode wood and drywall, and it can also grow mold that's dangerous to inhale. You should avoid direct contact with bats, as they may bite if they feel threatened, and you should seek immediate medical attention if you are bitten or scratched.
