SIGNS OF INTRUSION

• Missing shingles, screens, or obvious points of entry

• Urine or droppings (feces)

• Insulation that’s been disturbed, moved, or even formed into a nest

• Nests made of leaves, paper, and pine straw

• Sounds coming from your attic at night (scratching, squeaks, or pitter-patter of feet)

• Ducts that appear damaged or torn by animals

• Animal sounds like purring, hissing, snarling, screams, etc

Skunks and Raccoons 

    These animals can carry diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and worse. They’ll defend themselves with claws, teeth, and spraying if they feel threatened. There are times when these vermin will leave on their own, but if they got in once, they can again, and that’s when you call a professional. Raccoons are extremely destructive. Once the animal has been removed and sealed out for good, our experts will inspect your home for rotted wood, holes gnawed, and other evidence of damage from the unwanted guests.

Rats and Mice 

     Rats and mice build nests in attics where there is easy access in and out (like a hotel). Conventional rat traps and or baited traps are good methods for removing these rodents. Though these creatures are small, they can wreak major havoc in your home. 

Squirrels

     Chittering noises, running sounds, and insulation that has been removed are signs of squirrels. Locate the entry points (usually soffit or roof vents and eave gaps). A sheet of steel mesh in the entryways into the attic can deter squirrels, but getting them out is key. 

Bats

     You may hear bats moving around, scratching, or squeaking in the early morning and evening. You may also hear high-pitched chirping or the sound of their wings flapping through insulation. Bats may enter attics for a variety of reasons, including to hibernate, give birth, or take shelter from the weather. They can squeeze through an opening the size of a dime. They typically roost in the same location and give off their location by looking for guano. While bats can be beneficial to the local ecosystem because they eat insects and mosquitoes, bat infestations can also cause health risks and unsightly messes. Bat guano can corrode wood and drywall, and it can also grow mold that's dangerous to inhale. You should avoid direct contact with bats, as they may bite if they feel threatened, and you should seek immediate medical attention if you are bitten or scratched. 

No matter what kind of critter you have in your attic, be sure to get it removed
