The timing leans towards bats coming and leaving. If you have enough, as on=
e our neighbors did, you can definitely hear them going in and out.


"Droppings will be at the entry points"...I sure hope this isn't accurate. =
I have bats in my attic and there are droppings in many places.....places w=
here, if they were getting in and out, water would be as well.

Sounds like bats to me.  Only need a gap the size of a dime to get in.   Dr=
oppings will be at the entry points.  If it is warm where you are at, you m=
ay be able to see them come or go after dusk or just before dawn.

Since they are protected, you must exclude them rather than kill them.

Took nearly 2 yrs to get them out of my attic.



Good luck,

Gordie

I've searched the Internet, but all answers seem to require that I actually=
 see evidence, and I don't. It's in the ceiling between floors. No dropping=
s anywhere. I hear little feet like mice skittering across the ceiling, and=
 a great big ruckus like two squirrels chasing each other, moving quickly i=
n the 3/4" space created by the strapping between joists and sheetrock.



They are loudly active mostly at night, almost always at 4:30am. Often in t=
he evenings, but sometimes during the day too. However, I haven't heard the=
m in 2 days. Sometimes this happens.



I cannot find any entry points, so I can't observe how they are getting in.=
 A lot of the roof trim is rotted at the ends, but there is no evidence of =
anything in the attic, and I never hear anything in the walls.



In the past, any mice have eventually made it to the basement traps, but no=
t this time.



thanks,

jim
