Sounds like bats to me. Only need a gap the size of a dime to get in. Dr=
oppings will be at the entry points. If it is warm where you are at, you m=
ay be able to see them come or go after dusk or just before dawn.=20
Since they are protected, you must exclude them rather than kill them.
Took nearly 2 yrs to get them out of my attic. =20
Good luck,
Gordie

Subject: [Shop-talk] What animal is in my ceiling?
I've searched the Internet, but all answers seem to require that I actually=
see evidence, and I don't. It's in the ceiling between floors. No dropping=
s anywhere. I hear little feet like mice skittering across the ceiling, and=
a great big ruckus like two squirrels chasing each other, moving quickly i=
n the 3/4" space created by the strapping between joists and sheetrock.=20
They are loudly active mostly at night, almost always at 4:30am. Often in t=
he evenings, but sometimes during the day too. However, I haven't heard the=
m in 2 days. Sometimes this happens.
I cannot find any entry points, so I can't observe how they are getting in.=
A lot of the roof trim is rotted at the ends, but there is no evidence of =
anything in the attic, and I never hear anything in the walls.=20
In the past, any mice have eventually made it to the basement traps, but no=
t this time.=20
thanks,
jim
