Hearing strange noises? It is probably the sounds of a trapped animal in Chimney. Dallas is home to a wide variety of animals. Although very unfortunate for the homeowner the attic serves as a great habitat for animals. That is until their hiding place is found out and they need to be removed.

The reason why an animal might hide in the attic is because it is warm and dry. It also is a safe place from most predators and the animals can live for a while unbothered by humans. Attics are also commonly located next to areas where the animals could easily crawl out and get food from a nearby trashcan or garden. Animals can be very resourceful and nesting in an attic provides them with safety and access to food.
