Default animal noises between floors

Hello all,

We live in a 2-story house in Georgia built on slab and near a wooded
area.

Recently, we called in a pest control company to seal the gaps we had
in fascia/gutters near the roof and in the attic as we heard
scratching noises from squirrels/rats.

Now, they did seal the gutter/fascia gasp and the attic, but still
there are noises coming from above the ceiling of the first floor.

I don't think we have crawlspace in our home. Where could the rodents
be coming from to get in above the 1st floor?

How do we inform the pest company to get rid of them? Already paid
them for sealing work/exclusion work. We do have a 2-year warranty.

Thank you!!

Make ONE opening into the second floor cavity from outside.. Soak
some rags in ammonia and stuff them in the hole as far as you can
shove them with a broom stick, or whatever. The critters WILL come
out. THEN seal the hole. The pest company should have done that before
sealing anything.
