Do you have cats? (they have a way of screwing everything up...)
Heh, no, I don't have pets :-D
Sometimes I have heard noises on the space below the roof tiles, probably rats. Fortunately, non have entered the house itself (I have baits for them (as sensors) and they are intact).
At roof level it is more likely to be squirrels. One house I lived in suffered from this and the council have an 'exterminator' as part of 'public health' who explained this to me. Toronto is beset by racoons, who seem cure and cuddly and friendly and many people 'adopt them and feed them but they are a health hazard. They are too big to fit in the gaps under the eaves. It turned out the squirrels were getting in though a gap where the attached garage joined the house. The professional was good at spotting things like this. Yes, the squirrels can be a health hazard. Setting poisonous bait is not a good thing. having rotting corpses in the eves is definitely a health hazard. However I don't think squirrels will go for rat poison. Rats are voracious omnivores. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg
