Birthing and Rearing Season
If you hear noises in your attic between the months of April through October, you most likely have an adult female wild animal that is up in your attic with her young. During the birthing season, which runs from late March to October, wild animals seek various places to give birth and raise their young. They do this so their young can’t be attacked by predators.
