Are you hearing noises coming from your attic? Are you finding droppings around your house? Have you seen any animals coming in and out of your home? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you probably have an animal living in your attic. It could be bats, raccoons, or birds, but the animal we find most often in people’s attics are squirrels.
Signs of Squirrels in Your Attic
Many different signs could point to squirrels as the intruders. Here at K.P. Wildlife, as a professional Maryland wildlife removal expert we’ve dealt with more than our fair share of squirrels over the years, and we wanted to share a little bit of what we’ve learned.
Sounds in the Attic
If you’re hearing sounds coming from your attic, then chances are some type of animal is up there. If it’s a squirrel then you may be hearing scratching sounds or the sounds of little feet running around. You may also hear them jumping.
Strange Smells
Over time the smell of squirrel urine can become quite pungent, and this smell can waft down into your home. Not only can the smell come straight from your attic, but it can also come through your home’s heating and air conditioning vents.
Check for Tracks
First, you need to find the squirrel’s entry point. Then place a piece of cardboard down with some flour on it. Come back and check periodically to see if there are any tracks on it. Squirrel tracks look similar to rabbit tracks, so their back paws come up alongside their front paws.
