NO VACANCY Field Notes
Spring Attic Wildlife Guide
What morning scratching, nighttime thumping, chirping, and roofline damage may mean.
Start With the Clock
The time of day is one of the best first clues. Squirrels are usually active during daylight, while raccoons are more commonly heard at night.
Do Not Seal First
A new exterior gap may look like the obvious repair, but sealing an occupied opening can trap wildlife inside. Resolve the activity before permanent exclusion.
Look for More Than Noise
Check for damaged soffits, loose vents, rub marks, droppings below an opening, and repeated travel along the same roof edge.
No overnight stays
