Animals can sometimes invade your home and make
it their own. It is not so hard to tell that
there is an animal living within your home
especially when you are very keen and attentive
to all the noises around the house. Rats are one
of the most common household pests that you can
find anywhere and they make some noises that
allow you to realize that they are actually
living within your home.
Night noises
Rats are actually nocturnal and they love living
inside houses. The fact that they can be able to
climb anything even a bare wall means they can
be real nuisance especially when their
population starts rising. They are active when
night falls and when they start to exit and then
reenter the house, there is a great likelihood
that you will hear them. They go out to look for
food and water. If you aren’t too careful with
your storage and disposal, you may encourage
them to enter your kitchen so as to search for
food items.
Apart from the exit and entry noises that the
rats can make, it is very easy to hear them as
they run within the attic. They also make some
scratching sounds in the spaces that they live
in. you can also hear them in the walls as they
make some pitter patter sounds or even
scampering noises.
Noises from rats are either light or loud but
this depends on different circumstances. The
noise that the rats make is much lighter in
comparison to other rodents that are larger like
the raccoons and opossums.
There are some things that actually have a very
great effect on how loud the sounds are. They
include things such as the acoustics if the
house, the insulation as well as the drywall
thickness. These play a major role on just how
high the noise you hear will be.
Rats are very common noise
distracters that are found at homes
and you will hear them as they scratch walls.
They love night activity and the scratching
sounds that they produce are very irritating.
The sounds are an indication that the rat is
actually doing something like food search. When
faced by cold nights, they also make some noises
because they need a space hat is warmer. It is
never easy to get rid of them.
