Strange Sounds Coming From Your Ceiling and Walls?

Brown RatAre 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 over-active imagination running rampant late at night or just the sounds of your house settling.

If in doubt, call or drop us an email for expert pest control advice to identify your strange sounds and solve 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 any real success, or maybe you were too scared to find out 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 neighbourhood sounds are down to a minimum. If left unchecked, mice and rats can infest a home and destroy 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 may be quite noticeable to residents of the home, even becoming a nuisance that may continue right through the day. With the many laws that help protect indigenous birds and their nests, it is highly recommended to seek professional pest control to remove nests interfering 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 or Merseyside.

Grey Squirrels

In some areas, grey squirrels pose a big problem to homeowners as they try to find shelter for their young, leading to significant property damage. The noise disturbance that squirrels create is noticeable and can quickly become a nuisance to the residents of a house. However, their high activity and social behaviour carry on through the day. Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside are among the areas that have to deal with grey squirrel infestations. We have successfully dealt with the problem on several occasions, often finding many generations of squirrels in one residence.

Bats

Bats can also become an issue for some people due to the smell of their droppings, which can also be toxic for 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 handle the safe removal of the nesting bats and prevent future home invaders.
