Hellobee Boards

I used to work in a building that was 200 years old (and had been a part of the Underground Railroad!) and we had tons of "critters" that would run around in the walls and ceilings. In the 6 years I worked there, I heard little feet in the ceiling of my office most days and they never really caused any damage. One died in the hallway ceiling once, and it did smell so I would recommend getting someone out to your house to figure out how they are getting in and how to lure them out.

@2PeasinaPod: we had that & thought it was a raccoon until one night in the middle of the night we heard meowing!!! Turned out it was kittens! It was a place in the attic that we couldn't access so we had to wait til mama cat moved the babies & then we found out how she had gotten in & fixed it.

+1 what @gingerbebe: said! Had that problem with an old office bldg. Not sure where you are but could also be raccoons, squirrels, cats. You need to get an inspection done and many companies can also walk you through all the holes where they might be coming in. Good luck!

We have mice in our house. I hear them every once in a while. A few times I have heard something bigger sounding in the wall innour bedroom. We put a mouse trap in our attic and it has caught at least 4 mice since it has been up there for 6 months, but I also hear them on the main level of my house above my head so they're in between the floor.

We called someone but they said they only do squirrels specifically and do that one hole one way method you described above. So for now we are leaving it until something bad happens I guess or until we see one in the actual house.

I was going to say ... even tiny animals sound HUGE!!! And a raccoon will sound like there's a human being!! Glad you have answers.
