Animal Identification
Squirrel or Rat in the Attic?
Squirrels are active during daylight — especially at dawn and dusk. Rats are active at night.
Squirrel sounds are heavier and rollier; rat sounds are lighter and scratchier.
Squirrel droppings are larger than rat droppings and often found in concentrated areas near nests.
The correct answer changes the removal method, so a proper inspection matters before setting any traps.
