I was up last night at about 12:30 and the house was pretty quiet, I heard scratching and couldn't tell where it was coming from and realized it sounded like the attic. I woke up my husband and he didn't really get too excited about it and said it was probably potter upstairs, we only have a gameroom and spareroom upstairs and potter does hang out up there sometimes.

Since my foot is broke I couldn't go look around. Today hubby said he got up at 3:30 in the morning and he heard it so he went and found potter and potter wasn't the source of the noise.

Now I am nervous I sure hope I don't have a racoon or something in the attic. Its been around a 100 degrees here and I imagine the attic is pretty hot, I can't imagine it wanting to live up in there.

We do have a lot of critters around, racoons, skunks, etc and it sounded too big to be a rat but I suppose it could have been a rat.

I read on the internet that you should put moth balls in your attic so that will be a honeydew for hubby.
