If you hear noises from your attic, they probably come from the nasty pests running, scratching, and scurrying around above your head. Apart from the noise problem, pests can cause significant damage by gnawing away items and your cable wires. The day you start hearing noises, you should immediately call pest control in Boise.

Pests grow their family and leave droppings, which becomes a breeding ground for various harmful insects and bacteria. It is necessary to understand which pests you can expect in your attic before starting treatment.

Common pests found in your attic

1. Rats

Rats are among the common house pests, and they love to seek refuge in your warm, dark, and secluded attic, especially during the chilly winter weather. If you hear gnawing but are not sure if they are rats, you may be able to identify them by their droppings. Rat droppings are brown colored and sausage-shaped. Since rats are nocturnal creatures, you are more likely to hear the noise at night than during the day.

2. Termites

Termites are indeed one of the most harmful house pests. They are never satisfied and can eat 24 hours a day. They eat everything, ranging from human food to cardboard boxes. Having a termite infestation in your house can literally cause your home to be eaten away. Attics are the perfect place for termites to feast on wood, cardboard, old books, stacks of paper, etc.

3. Roaches

We can all agree that cockroaches are the most hated house pests. Some may even call these pests their “worst nightmare.” Cockroaches have a tiny body and can enter your home through tiny cracks and gaps. They always travel in groups; so, if you spot one in your house, there are more of them hidden in your attic. Since they prefer dark and warm places, the attic is the perfect hiding place.

4. Mice

Many people confuse rats and mice and even use the two terms interchangeably. However, there are some significant differences between them. Mice are comparatively smaller than rats, and their feces look like small brown grains of rice. As with rats, mice can fit in through small holes and enter your home very easily. They can climb up walls and squeeze through holes to get inside your attic.

Hearing noises at night can disrupt your sleep, but having pests in your attic can disrupt your life. They are not only a disturbance; they are a danger to your health as they carry thousands of harmful bacteria with them. Call professional services today.
