Something in my roof at night.

Rats love to live in the roof space of our homes. So scratching sounds in the attic at night could be from a number of different nocturnal animals. You ll hear the light pitter patter of tiny feet but perhaps also gnawing sounds. They can cause all sorts of damage and make noise all through the night.

But most of the time it s an animal and it s pretty easy to tell when the noises are coming from something living. It could even be from the heating cooling system or branches of a nearby tree scraping against the roof. Other causes of sounds in a roof can be tree branches rubbing on the roof or eaves. The most common place raccoons will occupy in your home is the attic.

Make sure that your roof is not warping in the humidity during the day and cooling at night because that could cause structural integrity issues in the future. Once it s confirmed that the possum s are gone bait can be laid throughout the roof cavity to control the rats. Just like with the possum tune in your ears at night because that s when rats and mice are the most active. Usually heard only when the wind is blowing or expansion and contraction of timbers and gutters as the roof warms up during the day or cools down at night.

Stations are not required as we are confident that no possums are present.
