So scratching sounds in the attic at night could be from a number of different nocturnal animals. The most common place raccoons will occupy in your home is the attic.

But most of the time it s an animal and it s pretty easy to tell when the noises are coming from something living. Raccoons in the attic at night because raccoons are the largest animal that will break into your attic or home it is also the easiest to identify. Once it s confirmed that the possum s are gone bait can be laid throughout the roof cavity to control the rats.
