Scratching Sound In Roof At Night

You re most likely dealing with a nocturnal animal since you hear noises at night so it may not be squirrel.

Scratching sound in roof at night. We banged the roof in the hope that whatever it is will scurry away but no luck. And thirdly many of the pests that creep around in our roofs and wall spaces are nocturnal meaning that night is when they ramp up their activity. Other causes of sounds in a roof can be tree branches rubbing on the roof or eaves. Our homes are the largest investments many of us will ever make therefore assuming the worst is an understandable reaction.

Raccoons rats mice and squirrels all scratch. For the past 2 nights we have been hearing a scratching sound in between the ceiling and roof. It just keeps scratching just the roof space in our room only and no other part of the house. It goes on between 2 4am.

Most animals scratch in the attic to clear out space for nesting or maybe to bury food. So you ve been hearing scratching and scurrying noises coming from your walls and ceiling at night and you re becoming concerned. Though it may sound like your walls are.
