We Found A Rat in the Attic. Will I Ever Sleep Again?

In May, my husband and I had our crawl space and attic cleaned out and our attic insulated. We had so little insulation we hoped it would make a big difference in our energy costs. We’ve been SHOCKED at the big of a difference it has made in our daily costs, especially considering we are home ALL THE TIME right now.

Not only did we make the decision to have our attic reinsulated because we needed more insulation, but we especially wanted to have the evidence of past critters removed. There are few things in this world that are as yucky to me as evidence of RATS! Eeeeew. Having kids that have suffering with asthma and allergies in the past, having spaces that are clean is important to me in our home. I did not want my husband to have the job of removing all this evidence, knowing the health dangers it can pose to him.

My husband spent some time when we first moved into our house filling holes in the attic and around the perimeter of our house to make sure rats weren’t getting in. We had a pest control company that placed traps around as well. I’ll be honest that I don’t think they ever came to check the traps! They didn’t actually put the traps in the right places either. My husband ended up setting some of his own traps and he caught several rats getting in. As gross as that is, it made me aware that we needed to make a change when it comes to who we trust to help us with our pest control situation.

This is why I’m so thankful that Crawl Pros has a pest control division! I trusted them with my attic and crawl space and now I can trust them to keep critters at bay. When you redo insulation this can be a fairly strong invitation for critters to try make some new beds. Pest Pros is going to make sure that doesn’t happen. We received 4 months of free pest services with our attic service and this gave me great peace of mind. They’ve come to check the traps several times already!

If you have been thinking of an insulation upgrade, attic cleaning or are just in general need of some advice regarding pest control at your house before the winter months come, give them a call today! I think their professional attitude, experience and knowledge will make you glad you did!
