How To Tell If Someone Is Living In Your Attic

If someone is there come out now.

How to tell if someone is living in your attic.

Each animal has a trademark scent. If you have experience like me you will actually know right away by the odor in the attic. Find a smoke alarm near the attic entrance. Tell them you smell smoke or gas in your attic or call pest control say you have a beehive or snake up there.

You may find that there is some stuff in there that shouldn t be there that you should get out of there. Ask in a loud curious tone is someone there. Call the fire dept. Call out to the person who might be in your house.

So on if there is. Light a match then put it out. Of course you can also watch your house outside especially if you know the entry hole and time of activity and catch the animal in the act. If it makes you uncomfortable just go up there and.

If you think you hear someone you know like a friend or family member call their name. Stop calling the cops. Call the police and say you suspect some one may be living in your attic or house. At least someone will be able to get in check it thoroughly.

If you know two large men then tell them your suspicions and ask for their help have them yell into the attic that they are giving the occupant a few minutes to come out or that they will come in. Rarely will you actually see the animals in the attic. It ll smoke a lot. Also if you can add locks to the vent s screw things that shouldn t be opened often shut.

You probably don t spend much time in your attic other than to pop in occasionally and access seasonal items or store nostalgic stuff. Just don t call from your own phone or from your house because they may be tapping your phone calls. If nobody replies ask again in a more general way to let the intruder know that you know they are there. Attics are usually dark dusty cramped and the site of too many horror film incidents.

Sit in your house be quiet and listen to what s going on. Have a cellphone ready to contact the police and perhaps some pepper spray to avoid a physical altercation. I dont think someone is living in your attic but however you may have a spirtitual being in your attic dont get upset this is pretty damn cool.
