As February hits we begin to see an increase of calls for scratching noises in walls. Scratching in walls typically comes down to 1 of 5 different kinds of wildlife (squirrels, bats, birds, mice or raccoons). February is typically the beginning of squirrels/squirrel baby season as squirrels have their young Feb-March then again July-August. As warmer temperatures hit, bats also begin to move and come out of their winter torpor (a short term hibernation). A thorough attic and roof inspection will show what wildlife issue you are facing and where their entry points are.
