Nuisance wildlife: types, identification & control
Wildlife in an attic, chimney or crawl space is a structural and health problem, not just a nuisance. Identification usually starts with the sound and the time of day: scratching at dawn is squirrels, heavy thumping at night is raccoons, chattering at dusk is bats. Humane removal is paired with exclusion and cleanup so the next animal cannot move in.
