More Than Just a Squeak
Rats and mice are not just unwelcome guests; they are biological hazards. Beyond carrying diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella, rodents have a biological need to gnaw. This often leads them to chew through electrical wiring, which is a leading cause of house fires with “unknown” origins.
What is Rodent Exclusion?
Standard pest control often focuses on trapping. However, Rodent Exclusion is a premium service that focuses on “building them out.” Professionals identify every entry point—some as small as a dime—and seal them with industrial-grade materials like steel mesh and specialized sealants.
The Importance of Professional Attic Restoration
If rodents have nested in your insulation, it is likely contaminated with urine and droppings. High-end pest control services offer:
-
Full Insulation Removal: Getting rid of contaminated materials.
-
Sanitization: Using hospital-grade disinfectants to kill pathogens.
-
Re-insulation: Installing new, energy-efficient insulation that often includes a pest-deterrent boric acid coating.
