Strange Sounds Coming From Your Ceiling and Walls?

Are you hearing strange noises emanating from your walls or roof? What do you think could be the cause of the unusual sounds? It is possible that it could just be your overactive imagination running rampant late at night, or just the sounds of your house settling.

If you’re in doubt, call or email us for expert pest control advice to identify the source of your strange sounds and resolve your problem.

The unsettling noises may be as accurate as anything, especially if you continue to hear them throughout the day. Perhaps you tried to find the source of the odd sounds without much success, or maybe you were too scared to discover what it was.

Rodents

Floorboards, the area between walls, and the ceiling space can be the perfect hiding place for rats and mice to breed and multiply, quickly becoming a significant problem. As they hurry through the hidden areas of a home, their paws can cause all manner of sounds that are audible to the people living there, especially at night when the neighborhood sounds are at a minimum. If left unchecked, mice and rats can infest a home, damaging wiring and other materials. The vermin can also carry many diseases that can spread to members of your family or pets.

We use the sounds that rodents make with their movements through a home to indicate an infestation. With the use of professional pest control, you can eliminate rodent problems that may reside in your home.

Birds

 

Birds may also find shelter in a roof through openings on the outside of the house. This can also lead to sounds being heard as they come in and out of their nest. Spring and summer are peak times for nesting birds, and their activity can be quite noticeable to residents of the home, even becoming a nuisance that may continue throughout the day. With the numerous laws in place to protect indigenous birds and their nests, it is highly recommended to seek professional pest control services to remove nests that interfere with your home. Bird-proofing is another option to avoid nesting problems before they happen. We can deal with various bird species, including but not limited to sparrows, pigeons, and seagulls. We have successfully dealt with nesting problems in areas ranging from Manchester, Cheshire, and Merseyside.

Grey Squirrels

In some areas, grey squirrels pose a significant problem for homeowners as they attempt to find shelter for their young, resulting in substantial property damage. The noise disturbance created by squirrels is noticeable and can quickly become a nuisance to house residents. However, their high activity and social behavior continue throughout the day. Manchester, Cheshire, and Merseyside are among the areas that have to deal with grey squirrel infestations. We have successfully addressed the problem on several occasions, often finding multiple generations of squirrels in a single residence.

Bats

Bats can also become an issue for some people due to the unpleasant smell of their droppings, which can be toxic to humans and pets. Along with the scent, bats can create a mess if left to reside in an area for a long time. Being a protected species, professional pest control should always be contacted in such situations. The experienced team can safely remove the nesting bats and prevent future home invaders.
