Extermination Exterminators Attic Crawlspace Restoration service from rats and mice
Rodent Rats Mice Mouse Extermination barrier or guard used between gaps, foundation, or other sources of rodent entry. Large gap between roll-up warehouse door frame and wall, allowing for easy rodent access. Utility entry points must be constantly monitored for excess openings caused by equipment repair, installation, or modification. Outside walls and doors must also be monitored for damage from equipment or livestock. That may require Insulation Removal and Replacement, Crawlspace and Attic Cleaning.
A family of four were seated for dinner when the daughter lets out a piercing scream. It’s a stinking mouse that ran across the dining room floor. Oh but It gets better. Later when the son is getting ready to jump into bed scratching can be heard in the ceiling. Yes, guessed it, now the husband hears the pitter-patter of what fat rats in the attic may well be.
Rats and mice in the home or building,Potential attic and crawlspace damages already done:
Rat mice Problems can cause damage when nesting in a home or building. There are many ways these rodent pests can gain entry into a home or building. Keep in mind the rats can fit through holes the size of a quarter. The damages incurred can require the removal of and installing of new insulation. The attic and crawlspace will need to be thoroughly cleaned. Rats and mice create stains and unpleasant odors and there would be a need to deodorize areas affected. All entry points around the outside foundation need to be checked and sealed. Not to mention the diseases being spread.Rodents can also cause damage by chewing and gnawing on building systems like electrical wiring, doors, and weather strips. Since most home fires are caused by electrical problems, and rodents like to chew on wires, rodents can represent a significant risk to the home and family. Rodents carry viruses, bacteria and diseases. Need to begin with a thorough inspection of the home, building, or property. If possible identify the rodents. This is an important step in deciding which method of Pest Control is needed. Insulation in the attic and crawlspace need to be inspected to determine the magnitude of the infestation.
Droppings left behind in the Attic are not desirable. It’s something nobody wants hanging over heads at night when asleep. Rats and mice come in for food and shelter. The rats mice are seeking warmth, protection from predators. The insulation in the Attic provides warmth. The crawlspace is often a neglected area of the home. Frequently insulation is found pulled down and contaminated with rodent droppings, urine, stashes of food. Rats store material needed for nests. Locating dead rodents would not be a big surprise. May find the ducting is being chewed on and nests being built. Homeowners don’t enjoy going into the crawlspace. Especially when it is in need of a rodent infestation clean up.
Insulation damages required removal of the old and installing of the new:
Rat Infestation causes so much damage it’s difficult to not get new installation installed.
Rodent damaged Insulation Removal:
When the rodents infest a crawlspace, the pests nest in the insulation that is tucked between the floor joists under the floor. As a result of this, the crawlspace insulation becomes ruined from the droppings, urine, and the rats tunneling. The damaged insulation loses the ability to keep in the heat.

Seattle Commercial pest exterminators specialize in several Commercial rodent control services, including rat removal and mouse control, rodent damage control, rodent management, rodent prevention, residential and commercial rodent control. The certified Commercial pest control specialists and pest exterminator operators are trained with the most advanced rodent control techniques, ranging from rodent control through trapping to rodent damage repair and rodent prevention, Commercial Office Buildings, Hotels, Hospitals, and Retail Stores. Commercial buildings are constructed from types of materials and design methods that vary greatly in the degree of susceptibility to rodent infestation (for example, metal and concrete versus wood). Most structures eventually become less rodent proof due to deterioration, alteration, or repair. Heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical service, and fire sprinklers provide some of the most commonly encountered rodent entry points.
Rats, mice and other rodents can become a nuisance when in close proximity to humans. Spreading disease to both humans and household pets, rodents can also cause property damage and contaminate food sources. Rodent pest Control specializes in rodent control and removal to help building owners get rid of rodents in the home or business. A variety of lethal and non-lethal techniques, including exclusion, habitat modification, and trapping are available that may effectively control these pests.
Food Handling Facilities and Warehouses Businesses in which food is stored or handled are especially prone to rodent invasion. Good sanitation practices are essential. Keeping food well-sealed is very important, Kitchen Area under food preparation equipment is raised above a smooth stainless-steel floor, allowing for easy cleaning of food spills and open to prevent harborage. Scraps of food can often be found in floor drains, under food preparation equipment and stored products, and around refuse and entry areas. Outside doors are often left ajar or fit poorly due to heavy use, physical damage, or improper installation. Space under equipment (mixers, stoves, counters, or refrigerators) should allow easy cleaning and inspection, or be closed off completely with rodent-proof materials
Mice and rats are sometimes found using freezer and refrigerator compressor areas for harborage and water. Mice are often found in the insulated walls of large coolers. Look closely at corners and edges of metal, or other material covering the insulation, for rodent openings. Drains should have adequate screens or grates to prevent rodent entry. Food disposal, refuse, and damaged goods areas are often located close to food handling or storage areas and are not sealed from rodents. Areas near loading docks should be closely inspected for cracks, broken screens, damaged doors, and uneven floors near doorways. Interior loading docks served by rail cars are difficult to close due to the tracks, but rubber door guards made to fit the tracks are available and will deter rodent entry.
Rodent-infested goods in food warehouses commonly include cereals, flour, and baking mixes; waxed carton drinks; dry pet foods; dried fruits and nuts; fresh produce; paper goods; charcoal briquets, and damaged goods. Products in these categories should be kept in open, easily inspected areas, not in dark corners. Regular and routine removal of such nonsalable or non-usable products should be standard practice to enhance cleanliness and safety and to reduce harborage.
Apartments and Houses Utility entry points include underground electrical and communication trunk lines, and exhaust vents for clothes dryers. Power lines have always been a favorite route of travel for commensal rodents, especially roof rats. Check all roof joints for tightness and presence of flashing, if rats and mice have access to the roof via wire, pipes, plants, or rough-textured walls. Also check roof and sewer vents for adequate screening and sealing, including presence of tight roof jacks.
Chimneys should be checked for properly installed flashing or for missing mortar. Rats occasionally enter buildings through toilet traps in inner-city areas with rat-infested sewer systems. In such cases, tracks and water may be found on the rim of toilet bowls. Both roof and Norway rats have been known to enter structures via the sewage system. This route usually occurs in older established areas with poorly maintained sewer systems. Mice often enter under entry doors, through holes beside water pipes and electrical conduit, and through the cold air return ducts on forced air furnaces, especially those located in outside cabinets or garages, and underneath mobile homes.
Mice and rats often find easy access to garage areas through open doors or under and beside poor-fitting garage doors. Once in the garage, they may gain entry into the main structure along electrical lines, pipes, poorly sealed fire wall sheathing, or around furnace ducts, hot water heaters, or laundry drains.
If rodents are able to reach the attic, travel from room to room or unit to unit through openings for pipes, ducts, and wiring. Attics provide excellent harborage in winter, spring, and fall, but are often too hot during summer. Common attics, basements, or raised foundations in condominiums and apartments are a frequent source of rodent infestation.
