You’re lying in bed when you hear it: scratching, thumping, or scurrying coming from above. Maybe it’s nothing... or maybe it’s the start of a serious problem. At Rogue Pest & Wildlife Control, we urge homeowners in Florida to act fast when they hear sounds in the attic—especially at night.

🕵️‍♂️ What Those Noises Could Be

Noises in the attic at night are rarely harmless. In Florida, common culprits include:

  • Rats – Nocturnal and active from dusk till dawn 🐀

  • Raccoons – Heavy walkers, usually active after sunset 🦝

  • Bats – Fluttering, squeaking sounds, especially near gables 🦇

  • Opossums or squirrels – Occasionally active during early morning or evening

⚠️ The Hidden Risks

Ignoring these sounds can lead to:

  • Electrical fires – Rodents chew wires

  • Contaminated insulation – Feces and urine spread bacteria

  • Expensive repairs – Entry points widen, insulation is destroyed

  • Health risks – Roundworm, leptospirosis, fleas, ticks, and more

What starts as a small noise can lead to big-time damage.
