Do I have a critter in my attic?

We had a squirrel in our attic one and she had two babies up there! She got in through the attic fan (obviously when it wasn't running!) We had to call out someone, whose phone number we got from the township, who trapped her and took her somewhere far away. Good luck to you!

YES!

Call someone to look for it. We had an animal die under our house in August!

That really sucked.

Squirrels and coons and do terrible damage. You definitely need them out. Young coons are just getting out on their own now so it could be a coon. Remember aside from tearing things up and chewing wires they are peeing and pooping up there, yuck.

Here we would guess it could be a marten. They trap in your attic - you think it's aherd of them when it's only one.

Whats a marten? Never heard of that???

A marten is a bird!

And the smallest squirrel, when it is in your walls, can sound elephantine! Definitely get it checked out, before damage is done to insulation and wiring!

No she means a pine marten not a martin bird. They are kind of a tree weasel but bigger.

Sometimes they remind me of mini wolverines
