How Do Rodents Get in My Attic?

Do you hear a scurrying sound in your ceiling? If so, you may have rodents in your attic. Rodents are very creative when it comes to entering your home, and it’s crucial you have them removed in any case.

How Do They Get In?

Even if you think your home is completely sealed, rodents may still find a way in through:

  • Chewing gable vents, ridge caps, and soffit vents
  • Squeezing through holes near pipes
  • Crawling through open chimney or roof vents

Rodent Removal

Removing rodents from your attic is a delicate process. Rodents are very smart and good at hiding, so they can be difficult to catch if you don’t know what you’re doing. A rodent removal professional will use proven techniques to locate rodents in your attic and devise a plan for getting them out. This includes eliminating their nesting areas and food sources.

Prevention

Once your attic is free of rodents, it’s time to focus on prevention. The first step in rodent prevention is inspecting the home for any potential weak spots. We will fill the small holes in your attic, replace damaged insulation, and sanitize your attic. These necessary steps will ensure your home stays rodent free.
