We heard scratching in the walls last night. I went up in the attic this morning and found round-ish droppings about a quarter inch in diameter laying on the insulation, some fresh and some old. Any advice? Am I correct to assume this is from mice? Should I set traps in the attic? I suppose I need to figure out where they got in, too.

Mouse traps and peanut butter...... Forget cheese! They love peanut butter. Quarter inch in diameter may be bigger than a mouse - Possibly squirrels.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

i had squirrels in my attic...They scratched all night long, it was a nightmare. I paid a lot of $$ to have all the construction gaps sealed around the roof line, but the best way to stop it is to make sure there are no trees that give those damn rodents easy access to the roof.

I wonder if it is squirrels. I remember thinking at the time that the scratching was awfully loud for mice, but I couldn't imagine how something larger like a raccoon or a possum could fit into the wall (or get into the attic in the first place, for that matter).
Here are pics of the droppings.
