For a couple of weeks there's been some funny noises coming from the loft. Sitting in the lounge (the house is upside down, with the living rooms on top, bedrooms below) you can hear a quiet rhythmic tapping or scrabbling noise. The sound moves around, and sounds like little claws on the ceiling boards. Now this is odd, because the loft is deep insulated all the way across, so nothing should be able to run around on the boards. Whatever it is is under the insulation.
Although the noise comes from different parts of the ceiling, at different times, the activity is pretty static if youn understand my meaning. Whatever is making the noise makes it in one place at a time.
I'm going to go and investigate in the morning, but until then anyone want to suggest what I might be looking for?
So far I'm thinking of mice, but past infestations have manifested with activity in the winter, which we haven't seen.
What about bats? They should be waking and starting to move about at this time of year.
The eaves are well boarded, so I don't think it's birds, and why would they be active at night?
