Mice in the Attic – Barnes Wildlife has the best solutions
Do you have mice in the attic of your home? Fall is in full swing and the weather is getting colder and a common phone call our office receives is mice in the attic keeping me awake at night! Mice in the attic only care about how do we stay warm? We put on our sweaters and cozy up in our warm homes, we’re not the only ones who want to enjoy our warm home this winter. Many critters are also contempt to sneak in and make themselves comfortable at the expense of our property. Snakes and mice were content to live in in the attic of a home in Saint Paris Ohio, the homeowner was not. Thankfully the homeowner made the smart decision to take action early, and even better call Barnes Wildlife Control. Animals like raccoons and mice and squirrels may seem harmless, but they can cause hundreds of dollars of damage and even make living conditions dangerous for families. Bats, mice and raccoons all are persistent creatures that will work their way into a house, causing damage to vents and duct work, shingles and siding, and can even cause long term unseen expenses like water damage resulting in damaged roof, chimney or pipe. Mice and snakes will live in a house, in the walls and an attic or a crawl space leaving large amounts of feces that can cause the air in a house to be contaminated and unhealthy or even dangerous to breathe. They tear up and disturb insulation, making tunnels and nests, and many times rot away in a house unseen from the home owner. Most people are unaware or ignore the animals, but this time the homeowner made the right decision and wasn’t going to allow it. Barnes technicians came out to the place in a timely manner on a service call and set traps the same day to catch the trouble makers. A same day estimate was given to the owner to seal up the house excluding any more creatures from entering; a critical step in preventing the problem from ever happening again. Also, an estimate was given to remove the contaminated insulation and any carcasses and feces. Fortunately, the homeowner called soon enough that only a spot treatment was required rather than removing the entirety of the insulation, conserving energy and saving the homeowner money. After the clean out was complete the attic was sterilized and deodorize to eliminate any dangerous bacteria and remove any bad smells. Finally, BWC re-insulated the house with fiberglass insulation and the job was complete.
