Wildlife Removal
Something is in the attic.“Scratching over the bedroom, right at dusk.”
Dusk, over the bedroom, four nights running. That is the note. It goes to a local wildlife pro in your words, not squeezed into a dropdown that says “animal noise.”
GetMatchedPro connects homeowners with independent local professionals. We do not perform the work ourselves.

The note
Where do you hear it, and what time of day?
Scratching and thumping in the attic right above the master bedroom, mostly around sunrise. There is a hole in the soffit on the back corner and droppings in the insulation.
Which room, and whether it sits over the ceiling or inside a wall. Add the hour. Scratching and thumping are different animals, so say which one you hear.

Questions
Wildlife Removal questions
What should I write about the noise?
Room and hour. Which room you hear it over, and what time it starts. Dusk and dawn point at different animals, and a pro reads that line before picking up the phone.
Can a pro tell me the animal before they see it?
Sometimes, from the sound and the season. Squirrels work in daylight. Raccoons are heavier and move at night. The pro will still want eyes on the attic and the roofline before saying so.
What will removal cost?
Not ours to say. It turns on the animal and on where it got in, and an attic that needs cleaning afterward adds to it. No form can produce that figure.
How do I check out the pro who calls?
Look them up yourself. Ask what the company has run into in attics like yours, then check whatever your state requires of the trade before you agree to anything. We vouch for nobody.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
Plan on it. Somebody has to open the attic hatch for them, and they will want to walk the roofline and the soffits from outside. Set the time when they call.
