Understanding Animal Sounds: Identifying Wildlife in Your Home

Introduction:

We rely on animal sounds as vital evidence to determine the presence of wildlife on your property or within your home. By noting the type of noise and its timing, our wildlife technicians can accurately identify the animals in question.

Section 1: Deciphering Animal Sounds.. 

*Subheading: Identifying the Timing of Animal Sounds*

Understanding when you hear animal sounds is crucial. Animals produce both vocal and movement noises, such as scratching, scampering, thumping, running, and chewing. Recognizing these noises aids in identifying the specific animal inhabiting your attic.

*Geographic Considerations:*

Different regions might have distinct animal behaviors. Noting whether the animals are active during the night (nocturnal), day (diurnal), or twilight hours (crepuscular) can aid in understanding their presence.

*Section 2: Notable Animal Vocalizations*

*Subheading: Nocturnal Animal Sounds*

Most nuisance wildlife, active at night, create distinguishable noises like clawing, rubbing, and whining. Common house invaders like rats and squirrels produce chewing and gnawing sounds. Various pests emit vocalizations, ranging from raccoons' growls and screams to opossums' clicking sounds.

*Section 3: Animal Specific Noises*

*Subheading: Raccoon Sounds*

Raccoons, one of the main nocturnal culprits, make distinct vocalizations such as purring, chittering, growling, and hissing. During birthing seasons, raccoons shelter in attics, resulting in sounds like mewing, crying, and whining. These noises evolve as kits grow, leading to louder thumping and snarls during play.

*Mice and Rat Noises:*

Mice produce squeaking or high-pitched sounds, especially during mating or when babies are present. Rats emit squeaking, hissing, and chattering noises. Both rodents create sounds from claw movements and chew wooden structures, generating pitter-patter footsteps across baseboards and drywall.

*Conclusion:*

Recognizing animal sounds is pivotal in identifying and addressing wildlife infestations. Paying attention to the type of noise and its timing assists our wildlife technicians in providing effective solutions for your property.
