Wild animals often seek shelter inside houses, particularly in the winter. The interior of a home offers a warm place for animals to live and raise their young, as well as plentiful sources of food. Wildlife can be difficult to spot since they often take up residence inside the walls, but you may notice other tell-tale signs of their presence.

How to Tell Wild Animals Are Hiding in the Walls

If critters are living inside your walls, you will most likely hear unusual sounds from time to time. You will probably hear scratching noises and possibly the sounds of babies moving around and calling out to their mother. If you hear noises at night, the animals inside the walls are most likely mice or rats, since they are nocturnal. Squirrels are active during the day. Animals living inside the walls often cause an unpleasant odor inside a house. You will probably smell urine and droppings the animals left behind. If you don’t address the problem and get rid of the animals inside the walls as soon as possible, you could wind up with a sickening stench that permeates the entire house. The smell could linger for weeks or months after the animals have been removed. Animals such as rats, mice, and squirrels tend to do a lot of chewing. You may notice damage to drywall, wood, or insulation. The animals might also venture out into the house in search of food and chew through boxes and containers. If you notice unusual sounds, unpleasant smells, or signs of chewing, you most likely have one or more wild animals hiding out inside your house. There is a good chance that they are living inside the walls. Don’t try to handle wildlife in your home by yourself. If animals have taken up residence inside the walls, it would be difficult to find them without the proper training, and you don’t want to destroy your walls in a futile search. Even if you were able to locate the animals, you could be scratched or bitten if you tried to capture or get rid of them yourself. You will be much better off seeking the help of professionals to deal with animals living inside your home. The team at Anderson Wildlife Control have the training and experience to deal with mice, rats, and squirrels living inside your walls. We can pinpoint the location of the animals and take the appropriate measures to trap and remove them without causing damage to your home or harm to the creatures. If you suspect that animals might be living inside your walls, don’t wait to take action because that would only allow the problem to get worse.
