Or so she thinks, he is secretly trying to make her go insane. Is it working? And how do you know when he is at work?
Wish I had more time to trap....

I am guessing raccoon. it's a ranch home with low attic, I don't think there is much on pipes going through, only a few roof vents. knocking sounds are heard moving from one end of the house to the other. no floor boards in there, about a foot or two deep of loose fiber insulation. I am really not inclined to crawl around in there to dig around for droppings. potentially making the animal skittish, plus I am just not that athletic anymore. set two cages near the entry hatch with a mix of bait, a little bit of everything, and hope for the best.

Expansion and contraction in the framing
Your in Wisconsin and it's real cold thus year, these real low temperature make the longer pieces of lumber expansion and contraction have more effect
Once we reach negative 10 my rafters will "pop" and then will "pop" as they return during the "warming" of the day
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

We live in an old house that makes the same noise. The gas hot water heater is in the basement. While it is heating it sounds like someone knocking up in the attic. Drove us crazy at first but now we ignore it.
