We put together a quick guide to help homeowners recognize 5 common signs of mice in the attic.

As temperatures drop in Westchester County, NY, mice start looking for warm, sheltered places to nest, and your attic is a prime target. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, making it easy for them to get inside through gaps around your roofline, vents, and exterior walls.

Not every bump in the night is paranormal! 👻
Scratching, scurrying, and thumping sounds coming from your attic could mean you've got some uninvited wildlife guests. And unlike ghosts, squirrels and raccoons can leave behind some very real damage!

Mice often nest in attic insulation, especially as temperatures drop in the fall. Unfortunately, their droppings and urine can contaminate the insulation over time.
If you're hearing scratching above the ceiling at night, it's worth checking the attic. Finding and sealing their entry points is just as important as getting the mice out.

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, and once they're inside, they can cause plenty of damage. 🐁

A few signs to watch for:
• Scratching noises in walls or attics
• Droppings in basements, pantries, or utility rooms
• Chewed food packaging or wiring
• Greasy marks along walls and baseboards

Fall is a good time to check around your home for gaps and openings. Finding and sealing these entry points is one of the best ways to keep rodents out.

Mice don't need a big opening to get inside your home. Some can squeeze through a hole about the size of a pencil!
With cooler weather settling into Westchester, it's a good time to take a walk around your house and look for gaps around pipes, foundation walls, garage doors, and anywhere utilities enter the home.
These are some of the first places we check when tracking down how mice are getting inside. A small opening that's easy to overlook can be all they need.

Getting bats out of an attic is something that’s best left to a professional. 🦇
It’s not as simple as finding the opening and sealing it up. Bats need to be excluded the right way so they can get out without being trapped inside.

Hearing something moving around in your attic? Pay attention to what time you hear the noises. The time of day you’re hearing activity can give us a pretty good clue about what may be up there. 🐿️🦝
Squirrels are usually active during the day, especially around the morning and late afternoon. Raccoons are more likely to make themselves known at night. The type of noise matters too. Light scratching and quick movement can sound very different from a heavier animal walking around overhead.
When we’re trying to figure out what’s in an attic, when you hear it, where you hear it, and what it sounds like are all useful clues.

Groundhog burrows can be easy to overlook once the yard starts filling up with leaves. Take a look around sheds, decks, porches, and other structures for fresh dirt or new holes.
A groundhog tunnel in the wrong spot can undermine landscaping and create problems around footings and other structures. If you’re seeing signs of digging around your property, Westchester Wildlife can help figure out what’s going on and the best way to handle it.
