Mice in the attic, rats
in the crawl space, or rodents anywhere children go, it’s time to get rid of
the varmints. Literally kids and rodents are a nasty combination. Putting off
contacting a pest control service is not an option.Pest Specialist will address
the problem at every level, from perimeter areas and entry points to nesting
sites and beyond.
True
story : “mice were discovered in the attic of a home. Children
were exposed to rats in a cabin on the lake, on a summer day. One of
the children came down with a fever of 103 that lasted for about a
week. Fearing the worst the mom prayed it was not a rat-bite fever or a
fatal sickness.. The child was evaluated and it turned out everything was
fine. Being in luck this time is an understatement. Knowing where the
infestation is in the home or other sites the family has visited is key.
There are many diseases that are indirectly transmitted by rodents. It can
occur when a tick or flea bites an infected rodent and then bites a human.”
Mice get comfy:
Mice like to live in the
attic because It’s warm,safe and dry. The rodent pests breed and build
mouse beds in the insulation. It’s also a place where the mice leave
droppings and urine. Diseases from these germ bag mice spread very quickly.
It’s also a place for storing food. Tunnels and runways can be found in
the insulation. Noises can be heard in the walls and attic at night.
Hearing the sound of pitter-patter is an indicator of mice infestation.
The rodents like to run up and down on the drywall which makes it sound
louder.
Mice are damaging:
Mice in the attic can
cause damage by chewing on electrical wires, spreading diseases and
creating funky smells. The pests can and do crawl down from the attic into
the house and kitchen. No space will be exempt from the mice that chew on
a variety of things. One of the favorite spots to attack is the food
pantry. Nothing is off limits.
Okay, now it’s a known
fact that there is mice infestation in the attic.The next step would be
to call a pest control company such as AMPM
pest control. The experts who realize that an attic is a perfect spot for
mice. So many places to hide in small dark places. Mice also love to
scamper around in the ceiling. For mice infestation in attics, ceilings
and inroofs it’s best to get a professional exterminator to take care of the problem.
How the mice set up
residency:
Mice enter homes through
cracks and holes found in walls, floors and foundations. Homeowners or
businesses usually do not realize mouse holes until other signs of
infestation start appearing. Due to a mouse’s body shape, it’s capable of
fitting through holes much smaller than imaginable.The mice are small enough to
get into a home through gaps in windows or ceilings. Along sewer lines,
unsealed or improperly sealed drain pipes. Mice may enter
homes through sink or bathtub drains. The mice are also known to find it’s
way inside via entry holes around plumbing and oven gas lines.
When the mice come to
check into the attic hotel :
As a result of dropping
temperatures, infestations tend to begin in fall. After a colony enters a
structure and finds it to be safe and warm, the mice rarely venture
outside again. Mice proliferate quickly and populations may exceed 200
specimens within a matter of months.
In order to prevent mice
from entering the home, all cracks, openings and holes should be sealed
and by a pest control professional. All doors and windows must close
properly. Store foods in glass or metal containers with tight lids, and be
certain to dispose of all food waste as soon as possible. Contact
AMPM Exterminators for a pest control professional.
For the experienced help the company will provide.
Pest
control companies charge $70-$250 for an initial examination to determine what
type of rodent is present and what type of damage has been done, identifying
potential entry points and setting the appropriate traps. After the initial
inspection is complete, most companies provide a written explanation of the
extent of the damage and a quote for all cleanup and repairs needed, which can
cost $200-$1,800 or more. The total price will depend the size of the rodent
infestation, how many entry points need to be sealed, the number of traps or
bait stations used, the number of trips to check and reset the traps or bait
stations, and the amount of damage that needs to be repaired and
decontaminated.
