Hearing Chewing in Your Walls? Could Be Mice or Could Be Squirrels
If you are hearing chewing in your walls and or attic it is likely that you have squirrels. It could be mice, it could be both as they will reside together. Difference being, mice sound like a light tapping just enough to make you crazy. Squirrels will sound like a hammer drill on low. Another difference is, usually squirrels work their way down. The longer the squirrels have been there, the more holes they've had a chance to make. Mice will work their way up. Mouse droppings in the basement, only a few. Mouse droppings found in the attic, a problem.
There are a few key questions that an animal removal company would ask when you call them:
1. What noises are you hearing, running chewing, crying?
Answers will define what kind of animal it is.
