Hearing sounds in my walls.....am i gonna be ok doc?

Ok the title is a joke but for real in the morning it sounds like a little mouse runs across my roof for 3 feet and stops. Or sometimes it sounds like a rodent runs down the front of my trailer. Its a front bedroom model, gel coat, no ladder to climb down.

It first i thought it was crows. I run outside to scare them away and there is nothing. Then i thought maybe its a squirrel or lizard. They are abundant right now. I have a surveillance camera on my roof that i turned and pointed towards the sound. I have not seen a single bird or squirrel in the last few days with that test.

It just hit me......could it be the sound of morning dew water? The sound seems to happen the second i wake up. I used to think the sound woke me. Now i wonder if im shaking the trailer when i wake up and causing water to drip?

Of course i need to go outside and look for water next time this happens. Figured it would be fun to ask here and see if others had the same issue of thinking there was a mouse in their walls. But turned out to be something else.

  • Well, when I heard sounds... it turned out to be grandfather rat... He was going up the wall inside, across the ceiling and down the other side. I opened a junk drawer under the refrigerator and this huge rat jumped out and then ran into the bathroom.. gee thanks! So, mine was really a varmint. Good Luck.
