Night Owls vs. Early Birds: Who’s In Your Attic? 🕵️♂️
If you’re hearing strange noises coming from your ceiling lately, you aren’t alone. In Brantford, we’re right in the middle of the spring nesting rush. But did you know the timing of those noises can tell you exactly who your new "roommates" are?
🦉 Nocturnal Noises? (Nighttime)
If you hear heavy thumping, dragging, or muffled "chattering" after the sun goes down, it’s almost certainly raccoons.
• The Danger: Raccoons are incredibly strong. They can rip through plastic roof vents or peel back shingles like an orange to create an entry point for their babies.
☀️ Daytime Scurrying? (Morning/Afternoon)
If you hear fast, light scratching or "pitter-patter" sounds during the day, you’ve likely got squirrels.
• The Danger: Squirrels are chewers. They need to gnaw to keep their teeth down, and your electrical wiring is a favorite target, creating a serious fire hazard.
💡 The "Brothers" Solution: Prevention
Don't wait for a family of five to move in! Most wildlife enters through standard plastic roof vents that offer zero protection. We install Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel Screening over your vents.
• It’s chew-proof.
• It’s pull-proof.
• It keeps the air flowing but keeps the critters out.
Protect your biggest investment before the "babies" arrive! As a local, family-owned business, we pride ourselves on humane removals and permanent solutions that actually last.
