What Are the Noises in My Attic?
No homeowner wants to play, “What are the noises in my attic?” 
Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop rodents from invading your Florida home and taking up residence in your attic.
Signs of Rodents in your Attic
Since you probably don’t spend much time in your attic, it’s unlikely that the visual clues of rodent infestation will be the initial indicator of a critter problem. Instead, it’s the noises of a mice, rat, or squirrel that are probably the first clue.
Common rodent sounds may include gnawing, scuffling, squeaking, and scurrying paws on the floors and in the walls. These noises indicate that a visual inspection of your attic is required. Look for small, dark, pellet-like droppings, ranging from approximately 0.5 cm to 2 cm in length. Debris and nesting material is common, as well.
Rodents are voracious chewers and gnawers. This creates safety concerns and causes damage to your flooring, insulation, drywall, and wiring. Any evidence of this activity is a good indicator that you have a rodent problem. Safe, speedy action is warranted.
