Rodents in walls at night.

These mice retreated to the safety of the walls in the day and came out to party at night. Because they are active at night when they exit and re enter your house in their nightly search for water and food you will probably hear them. They can climb pretty much anything even a bare wall. Scratching type noises can be anything from mice and rats to a large nest of carpenter ants communicating back and forth to wasps hornets and yes larger rodents such as squirrels.

The key to getting rid of mice in walls is to understand their habits. A strong correlation exists between mice in the walls and mice in the attic. To help direct the mice in the walls toward your trap take away any other potential food sources. On average a single house mouse will make up to 30 visits to different food sites each and every night.

Regarding my case matusiak explained it would be very rare for a mouse to be inside an interior wall but as he questioned me further we hit on a possibility. Rats making noises at night rats are nocturnal creatures that live in houses. If you look close you ll find slick smudge marks from where the mice rub up against building materials. First know that mice are constantly foraging for food which means they ll investigate anything new including mouse traps and bait stations.

Check your attic for trails in the insulation.
