It goes on between 2 4am.
Scratching sound in roof at night.
Most animals scratch in the attic to clear out space for nesting or maybe to bury food.
For the past 2 nights we have been hearing a scratching sound in between the ceiling and roof.
Raccoons rats mice and squirrels all scratch.
We banged the roof in the hope that whatever it is will scurry away but no luck.
You re most likely dealing with a nocturnal animal since you hear noises at night so it may not be squirrel.
It just keeps scratching just the roof space in our room only and no other part of the house.
So no matter what scratching noise in roof or wall spaces you re hearing trust those ears of yours because you probably really are hearing the busy work of our creepy furry or feathery friends.
Though it may sound like your walls are.
Our homes are the largest investments many of us will ever make therefore assuming the worst is an understandable reaction.
The noise could be coming from your roof during the hottest days of the summer when the rays of the sun beat down on the shingles.
So you ve been hearing scratching and scurrying noises coming from your walls and ceiling at night and you re becoming concerned.
