QuestionI have been hearing sounds in my attic at night for the past week. I live in Georgia, Greater Atlanta area in a wooded subdivision. The sound coming from the attic is centered above the bathroom area and adjacent to a cathedral ceiling. It sounds like something small running on the roof. I only hear it late in the evening and in the early morning hours before the sun rises. I never hear anything during the day. Any idea what sort of pest this may be?
AnswerAs you may have guessed, sound is a poor indicator of the problem's identity. Sound is like pain. It doesn't diagnose, it only tells us that something isn't right.
Only a proper inspection will tell the answer. Instructions on how to inspect your home for wildlife damage can be found at http://www.icwdm.org/Inspection/Default.asp Look at the links on the left and you will see one that speaks of principles of inspection.
