Scratching, thumping, scurrying after dark. That's an animal that found a way in. We find what it is, remove it, and seal the entry so the noise stops for good.
Different animals make different sounds, at different times of day. Here's a quick read on what's likely moving around above your ceiling.
Slow, heavy movement after dark usually means a raccoon, often a female that's nesting before she has young.
Likely: RaccoonsQuick scratching and gnawing in the walls and ceiling, mostly at night, points to rats or roof rats.

Plenty of companies set a trap and drive off. A week later the scratching is back, because the hole in the soffit is still open. We work the whole job.
"When I was hearing strange and loud noises in my attic I contacted Affordable Critter Solutions... he was professional and came out very quickly to see what was running around in my attic (it sounded like horses at night)... After the work was done, I did hear a little noise and Dirk and his crew came back out to determine where the additional access point was and they fixed it. I think I am now free of unwanted visitors in my attic."
"Dirk's thoroughness in addressing the major animal problems we had in our attic was unsurpassed by other similar companies and he exceeded our expectations."
"I recently had a large armadillo problem causing extensive lawn damage... A technician came out the same day and set multiple traps. The next morning the first of four armadillos were caught... Affordable Critter Solutions is an excellent and professional company to deal with."
