Started to hear scratching...

This is really bothering me, the amount of rubbish in the local area has increased, alongside the visible drug selling and taking.
Because of this I'm hearing scratching in the early hours of the night.
It's now 3.32am and they're at it again on the flat roof above me.
I think they've broken a barrier because my living room light fitting has stopped working properly.
And it coincides with the first sound of scratching last week Tuesday...
Grrr... This bull again!

I had the same problem in two different houses overseas.

Since I was renting, I told the landlord and made it his problem (since they had chewed through the wiring and my living room light wasn't working anymore....). In the other place, the chandelier had stopped working.

When we lived in a two-story farmhouse my uncle heard scratching. I didn’t hear it but he was sensitive to sounds. It was coming from upstairs. He took his shotgun with him & shot a rat that was in the unfinished attic part of the 2nd floor. It was huge. That was the only time we heard it and have no idea how it got up there. Need to put some bait up on the roof if that’s where it’s coming from or rat traps.

It sounds like you live in an area thats becoming unsafe. If I were you I'd make it a future goal to move someplace better without rats and crackheads outside because people on drugs can be oppourtunistic theives when they need a fix and they may eventually target you or your place.
In the meantime complain to the manager and put out poison or traps.

@Stereoguy I've just heard the caretaker talking to a neighbour saying, do you know how many crackheads I saw around here?

@Stereoguy tbh I doubt it when I complained about the marijuana and left a sign he said and did nothing in fact he stopped cleaning my landing level. He likes to talk to appear like he cares but it's just gossip.
