noise's in attic

fordy1208

hi all,

i think i may have a problem, i'm hearing noises in the attic from about 5 am until 7am, my heating doesn't come on unitl 7.30 and it has happened 2 mornings on the trot. My next door neighbour is getting her attic insulated which started Monday.

The noises vary from what sounds like water pipe noise's... as if something is knocking on it, moving or dragging noises against the wall/plasterboard, and then to noises under the floor boards on the upstairs floor of the house.

i'm not very good with any type of rodents unfortunately, any advice will be grately appreciated.

Cheers.

GHOSTS!!!:eek:


It could be anything between rats to a pine martin, you'd have to get up there to investigate (see if anything is chewed etc) If your neighbour is getting hers insulated, it sounds very much like whatever was in her attic, has now moved to yours.

Could be mice!!! Our house is ANCIENT and this time of the year the little blighters try to move into the warmth. I got a sonic repellant cupla years ago and it seemed to help a bit, but I still put bait outside around the base of the house in boxes, plus I've two huge cats!

Those sonic repellents are the blight of my life! They had them at work and would not believe I could hear them until they watched the green light at each blast. Then went to mass one night and they have a continuous one! Nearly drove me daft during that hour.

just and few thoughts and explanations

Ann Franks Diary.......................id say someone is hiding up there........................

or probably your other half.....has your money that keeps going missing hidden under the insulation and when your asleep goes up to count it. get a light fitted in the attic and your other half wont make so much nice trying to find it in the dark............probably saving for a one way ticket

does any one else hear them noises or is it just you...........stop the substance abuse

or maybe the rodent you think it is.........................is your neighbour ...................robbing your insulation when she thinks your asleep......to keep costs down on her own project
nobodys growing anything up there..........the heat from them lights can create expansion in the pipe work

or finally ..............it could be a case for mulder and scully......
DONT GET THE GHOST BUSTERS ANYWAY. THAT JEDWARD MIGHT TURN UP. JESUS I WOULD RATHER PUT UP WITH THE RACKET FROM THE ATTIC THAN THEM


" it could be worse you could be hearing voices. now dont tell us thats who told you to listen to the noise in the attic"
