There's some freaky sounding creature in my wall
It sounds like a miniature woodpecker or a giant cricket.

I'm getting freaked out.

Any suggestions? Have you experienced weird noises coming from your walls?

:freak: :silly:

4. Sorry babe . . .
it's either bats or mice. You need an exterminator in either case.

10. Okay, if you're sure it's
not mice (re: cats) then it's bats. Sorry. They do sound strange in the walls. I had an (awful) experience with bats in my walls, and ultimately coming into my house. I was ever so brave during the experience, but I truly did not like it.

7. Had a mouse running on the duct work one time
Actually it was two but it sounded like something bigger. My wife thought there was someone upstairs at first then we thought it was a squirrel in the wall. I ended up cutting a hole in the drywall to get them out. I used the vacuum hose extension to suck one up. I put a nylon on in the hose so it wouldn't get killed. The second one saw what happened to the first one and was not going to have any of that. It ran up the hose and jumped at me hitting my chest and bounced onto the floor. My wife screamed and leaped across the sofa. Poor mousey can't get traction on the hardwood floor and I'm chasing him with the vacuum hose, laughing uncontollably. I finally herded it out the back door.
