[Mike Lamb]

I can’t say I have seen bad condensation issues in an attic in summer around here.

Vacant house. This ceiling near the north side had large moisture stains in about 4 areas. A couple about 18â€

. . . Could mice leave such puddles? I’ve ruled out bigger critters.

Yes.

(Particularly if they've gotten into the Blatz.)

Blatz! It's even fun to say. Ranks right up there with Schlitz.

I have seen a bunch of homes with the same problem. In most cases they were caused by the abundunce of the mice in the attis. yes they can leave quite a urine path.

Hi Mike,

A couple of years ago I inspected a huge Chinese restaurant in Ballard (a Seattle neighborhood) and saw what looked like water stains from a roof leak on the ceiling over the dining room. I got out the LG knockoff, extended it up there in high stepladder form, climbed up, lifted that ceiling panel and discovered that it wasn't a roof leak at all - just the toilet for a rat warren.

Rodents will normally have an area close to where they are nesting where they do most of the pissing and crapping. Ask yourself, "If it's condensation, what the heck in this vacant house can cause that much vapor diffusion to occur in only scattered spots throughout the house?" When you think about it, you'll probably answer, "Nothing."

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

This thread is a little old but I recall a few bottles of Drewry's in the attic near the scene of the crime. I should have taken pictures. Over-served mice on a road trip. Thanks all.

No, thank you........there's never enough threads with urine in the subject line.
