Freaking me out, as it will just start scratching away.
Any humane remedy? Inhumane?

Probably a squirrel, I should say, but don't know fir certain

Mice can make a lot of noise sometimes too. I was just on the phone in my truck and a mouse started peeking out from my hood. For a few seconds he was up on my wipers, but I wasn't quick enough to flick him off.

I had a bird fly down a vent and down between the wall studs in an apartment once. The landlord had to remove some sheetrock - it was a little sparrow.
I couldn't understand why I was hearing a bird chirping in the wall! ![]() northern california coast

A bat can also find its way inside a wall and can make a scratching or scuttling noise as it moves. A person could remove sheetrock, but if it is a mouse, squirrel or bat it may move to another spot by the time you open that section of the wall.
Good Luck! Dave

I had ants in my pants and they destroyed everything.

I have bats in my belfry. Fortunately, there was nothing there for them to destroy.

Its likely looking for nest building material, but eventually will want food and water and look for it's way back to it's normal environment instead. steve... wrote: I had to get a bird out of my house the other day (a small sparrow too), it probably flew into the garage when the doors were open for a few hours the day before. We have an attic over the garage with pull down stairs and the stairs were down. The next morning I heard chirping from the attic and the bird was try to escape through a roof vent because it saw light there. It was very persistent. So I opened both garage doors and just left it alone. A few hours later it must have decided to try other options and found it's way down the attic stairs and out the garage door. I inspected the vent area with a mirror and saw no sign of it there, and the chirping was gone too, so I was confident that it really left on it's own.

Put a cat in the wall.
For extra points, make a YouTube video.

I think it is more serious than the replies you are getting. My cousin had a squirrel get in and found a wire to chew on. Ended up shorting the wire out and burning the house down. Don't know how to get rid of it but recommend you do right away and seal up its entryway so others don't follow it. Maybe call an exterminator.
