So about a week ago, we started hearing noises, scratching, chewing/gnawing on metal and or wood, and little pitter pattering feet running in the attic and possibly soffits. It has now turned into a full fledged party every day around 4:00 - 5:30 pm, and anywhere from 2:00 am - 5:00 am. It is amazing the amount of noise they are making. We have lost a lot of sleep, physically and mentally, as I find this stuff stressful. We have wildlife control coming over tomorrow morning to do a full house inspection, and begin the removal process. It's $150 for the inspection alone, which they say will take 1.5 - 2 hours. All fees after that will be based on what they find. My fear is that the little creeps will chew through wires, continue to make other entry sites, and just cause a lot of damage that of course, we will have to pay to have fixed. I have looked high and low for entry points into the house and have found nothing. That is part of what the professionals will find, and plug. I think they are red squirrels, as that is the kind of squirrel we typically have in our neighborhood. Little guys, and very fast. Tonight I had to disassemble the entire shelving unit in my sons closet, as it is the only entryway into the attic. What a pain in the butt. Anyone ever have experience with using a wildlife control company to remove rodents from the attic, walls, etc? I will reply tomorrow evening after I know for sure what we are dealing with, but my money is on red squirrels.
