We’ll identify any issues and create a custom Integrated Pest Management strategy that will push your solution through to the finish line.

What’s Making Noise in my Walls?

• Frequent intruders of attics and wall voids are mice, roof (black) rats, birds, bats, Eastern fox squirrels and Eastern gray squirrels. Squirrels, bats and birds nest close to their entry point, so if you hear noises in the walls, it is likely a rodent.
• In crawlspaces and other areas, Norways rats & house mice are common invaders with raccoons & opossums a close second.
• Occasionally rabbits, California ground squirrels, Douglas squirrels and even chipmunks visit peoples’ crawlspaces through damaged foundation vents.

Although each of these animals have territorial behaviors, it is actually fairly common for two pest animal species to occur in the same house. To properly diagnose and treat animal pest issues, you may need inspection & monitoring by a trained wildlife control professional.

Try the Knock Test

Next time you hear the noise, try giving a few loud knocks on the wall closeby. If the noise suddenly stops, this may indicate a rodent pest like rats or mice. If the noise only stops for a moment, then continues or doesn’t stop at all, it’s more likely a squirrel or larger wildlife. This method can give us some idea of what kind of animal control might need to be done.

Do Natural Wildlife Repellents Work?

Most urban wildlife has evolved alongside us long enough that they’re mostly used to all the smells we are. For this reason, natural animal repellents with garlic, chili, peppermint, ultra-sonic devices, or even pet odors & predator urines seem to be partially- or non-effective. Fearless urban wildlife may not even be deterred by hazing with loud noise or lights.
