They get into the property in different ways but they all do some type of damage and carry some type of health risk.
The most common health risks for animals in the attic are Histoplasmosis, Rabies, and Hantavirus but there are more. Generally speaking, therefore, you want the animal removed from the attic to prevent unnecessary exposure.

Interpreting the symptoms. What kind of animal in the attic am I dealing with in Charleston?
There are two kinds of scratching noises in the attic: benign and scary. The benign is just everyday creaks and pops—nothing to worry about. The scary kind is when you hear something scratching against the outside or inside of your attic. This can be caused by an animal trying to get out, pests, or an infestation. Each has their own signs, but the signs will help you determine if the cause is an animal in your attic or something else. All scratching in the attic in Charleston, SC is not the same.
All scratching in the attic in Charleston is not the same. Is it happening in the day, evening, or late night? Is there scratching in the walls too? What happens when you knock on the well or ceiling (knock test)? Is is a scratching or more of a thumping or really loud? Are there “bird chirps” that go along with the scratching?
The answers to all of these questions can help you determine what type of animal is in the attic or walls that needs to be removed. Light scratching at night that is in the attic only and stops when the knock test is applied, is probably rats or bats. If there’s is scratching in the walls t’s almost always rats or mice. Sometimes it’s raccoons (babies) in the walls but they will also “chirp” for their mother. Loud scratching or thumping in the night is probably a racoon or possum. Scratching in he morning or early evening that runs when the knock test is applied is probably a squirrel.

Unknown to us, some pigeons had made our attic their home for years. The waste they had accumulated was downright disgusting - and, as I would soon discover, a severe health risk. Anyways, we only noticed the problem when I went to the attic to trace a leaky pipe. I was shocked by the amount of bird waste I saw. I promptly called this company, and they sent technicians to perform a full attic restoration. After they were done, you could not tell that I was dealing with a severe bird problem just the previous day. I was pleased with their service, and the price was worth it!

Excellent service. Communicated well and eliminated the mole problem in my yard which was most important to me. The people were very informative and nice to talk with. They were prompt and came when scheduled. The service was expensive which is my only negative but all other aspects of my experience were positive.
