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!!


My son had a roofer come out and seal openings that squirrels were
coming in. Apparently they missed an opening around the chimney and a
squirrel got in the space between the vent pipe for his fireplace and
the insulating pipe. Bottom line, squirrel died and it took a
contractor and a chimney guy to remove at cost of several hundred
dollars. Smell and maggots were coming in. Call the pest people back.
May be a left over trapped squirrel or they missed an opening and
another got in. Sounds like something that should be covered by
warranty. Get on it right away before you have to deal with a dead animal.
