I have had bats before, and they make an amazing amount of noise. 
Although I am not sure they could get across the ceiling that fast, and 
you should have some evidence in the attic.  And they certainly don't 
need much to get in.

Good luck! Scott R

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 droppings
anywhere. I hear little feet like mice skittering across the ceiling, and a
great big ruckus like two squirrels chasing each other, moving quickly in
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
the evenings, but sometimes during the day too. However, I haven't heard
them 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
anythingin the attic, and I never hear anything in the walls.

In the past, any mice have eventually made it to the basement traps, but not
this time.

thanks,
jim
