Rodent Proofing & Clean up Services

1. Complete Inspection–The first thing we do is a thorough inspection. We discover all the entry points, review the damage, come up with a clean-up and exclusion plan, and give you a written estimate.
2. Insulation Removal–for blown-in insulation, we use a special insulation vacuum machine.  For batts or rolled, we put it in big garbage bags and remove them.
3. Critter-Proofing–Once the area is cleaned out, we seal any visible air gaps and entry points. We close gaps and holes and make sure screens, and air vents are not damaged.
4. Thorough Decontamination–Time needed for this step will depend on how much infestation and pollution you have. We use strong vacuums with HEPA filters to get rid of contaminants in the air and bad smells. We disinfect and sanitize the space as well as use enzyme treatment for dealing with bad odors of wildlife and rodents pests and nests. We remove waste and feces.
5. New Vapor Barrier & Insulation–After we remove old insulation and any old vapor barrier, we install new high-quality insulation and vapor barrier. Besides being clean and pest free, your new insulation will help you lower your energy costs.

Where Do Rodents Live?

Rodents typically nest in dark, secluded areas. That can include attics, crawl spaces, and even inside walls. Although they are often seen as pests, rodents serve a purpose in the wild. They help to aerate the soil and eat seeds and insects. In some cases, they can even help to control the population of other animals. 

However, when rodents move into your home, they become a nuisance. They can make a lot of noise, and their droppings can spread disease. That’s why getting rid of them as soon as possible is important.

The Dangers of Rodents

One of the biggest dangers of rodents is fire risk. These animals like to chew on wires, creating a short circuit. That can lead to a fire, damaging your home and putting your family at risk.

In addition, rodents even cause structural damage to homes. They can gnaw on wood beams and insulation, which can weaken the structure of your home.

Another danger posed by rodents is the fact that they often carry disease. These diseases can be spread to humans through contact with rodent droppings or saliva. Some of the diseases that rodents can carry include:

• Hantavirus
• Plague
• Salmonella
• Typhus

As you can see, it’s important to get rid of rodents as soon as you suspect they are in your home. Envirosmart offers professional rodent proofing and rodent clean-up services that will remove these pests from your home and prevent them from returning in the future. 

Does Your Home Need Rodent Clean-Up Services?

You’re thinking about rodent-proofing your home, but you may not be sure if you need to do it. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself to help determine if you should rodent-proof your home:

• Do you hear scratching, scurrying, or chewing noises in your attic or crawl space?
• Do you see droppings in your attic or crawl space?
• Do you see evidence of burrowing or gnawing around your home?
• Do you smell a musky odor in your attic or crawl space?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you must consider rodent-proofing your home. Attic rodent proofing and rodent infestation cleanup are two of the best ways to prevent these animals from entering your home and causing damage.
