Is there something living on our attic?

Squirrels have their 2nd family of the year in July. look for chewed soffits or gaps etc. The cage type trap works with peanut butter, but there wasn't really any damage signs of the squirrels in the attic, they kept the nest to the edge but the noise of them was loud!

It could well be birds at that time on the outside of the roof. They will forage around in moss and cracks between the roof tiles

Ah that reminds me. I stayed with a friend and there were scratching noises every evening right by my bed.

Turned out to be bats, they shuffle around and fly come dusk then return and shuffle around some more. We confirmed it as one remained clamped to the outside wall one day.

They weren't so happy about me finding these in their walls. Protected so you have to pay for relocation or leave them depending on area and then cover where they are entering.

Cute creatures though, eat the biting bugs. Went on a bat weekend once, really facinating.
