Something In My Roof At Night

My name is eloise and i have a noise which occurs either in my wall cavity around my window frame or in the roof space.

Something in my roof at night.

It could be cats or maybe a raccoon or squirrel since there are trees close to my house but it s pretty noisy. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. It is a brick house with a timber frame. If you can catch the animal then placing a large sturdy box or a strong washing basket can help you to catch them and then putting a blanket over the box can help to calm the animal.

I sometimes run outside to check but nothings ever there. It s advisable that you do a visual examination of the exterior and roof of the building keeping an out for anything that appears loose or out of place. If there is an injured animal on the roof or it falls from the roof and is injured one of the most important things is not to put yourself in harm s way. So it s 3 am and you find yourself sitting bolt upright in bed thinking.

Quite a few times within the past year i have heard something scamper across my roof. Practically every night there would be raccoons and the odd deer walking around on my roof for whatever reason. I went downstairs and looked out the front window and sure enough was a raccoon bending over the gutter. If it is something blowing in the wind or something loose on the building itself see if you can confirm this visually.

One night i was reading a book i felt a little uneasy and decided to look up. Do you live in melbourne and suspect that there s something living in your roof. Any number of wild animals can be living in your roof space and this could include. There was a raccoon staring at me it creeped me the f k out.

If so chances are you are playing host to unwanted guests. The noise occurs between midnight and 5 am for about 20 minutes each time and a couple of times each night. If raccoons were getting on to the roof from the surrounding trees make sure that the branches are trimmed back so it isn t possible to jump on to. This would be fine except i had a skylight.

It was right by my bedroom wall. Along with sealing any holes in the roof that were allowing the raccoons on to the attic it is also important that you check the tiles on the roof haven t been damaged or loosened by the animals. They can cause all sorts of damage and make noise all through the night.
