Raccoon in attic night noise: What to Check and What to Do Next
Nighttime thumping, scratching, or movement above a ceiling can be consistent with a raccoon, but sound alone does not identify the animal or show whether young are present. Keep people and pets away from the attic, record the time and location of the noise, and inspect only from the living area or ground for visible entry damage, droppings, or roof and vent problems.

Raccoon in attic: What to Check and What to Do Next
Do not enter the attic, approach or handle the raccoon, set a trap, place bait or poison, clean feces, seal an opening, or attempt an exclusion while an animal may be inside. From the living space and safe ground-level viewpoints, record the time and location of noises, any visible ceiling or wall changes, and any roofline, vent, or opening clues that can be seen without a ladder.

Do not enter the attic, move insulation, approach a raccoon, or block an opening yourself. From a safe living-space or ground position, record when you hear movement, where odor or visible staining appears, and whether you can see damage near a vent, soffit, roof edge, or wiring without climbing.
