Question We have some kind of animal in our crawl space and I wondered what we can do. I only hear it at night and I don't hear any noises it makes, only the scratching in the Orlando Florida ductwork (i think) and there are pieces of insulation appearing in the A/C vents. When i hear it i usually bang on the vent and it seems to stop it for a while. My husband thinks it is getting in through the A/C unit outside and I called out our exterminators but they said it was not rats because the feces were the size of cat feces. Please help I have a five month old baby who sleeps all night and I am kept awake by the animal under the house!!!!

It sounds like you have a mother raccoon using your crawlspace for her den. This is the time of year for raccoons to have their babies (kits) which can be from one to four kits. She must be nesting in a larger section of your AC than the Florida duct work, like the box that has the air filter or dehumidifier. I would open those boxes to see if she has a nest or babies in there, if she does have babies in there then leave something in there that smells like humans, dogs or cats and leave it for a day. She will move her babies out of there if she fears for their safety and then you can close the duct work off with a screen. If she doesn't have any babies in there but has been nesting, then just close off the AC unit with some metal screen on the outside. If the feces are as large as a cat then it is probably a raccoon, however it could be a possum or a skunk also. Possums carry their babies with them, so that would only entail you closing off the vent, rats are a different story all together. I would guess it is a rat however and they will build nests in crawl spaces or attics of houses this time of year. |
