Unfortunately, rodents love Pacific Northwest attics and crawl spaces. These dark, unfrequented spaces give rodents an opportunity to tear down your insulation, defecate, reproduce, and die undisturbed. Two rodents can produce well over 1,000 offspring in a year, which can result in costly damage to your home. Worse still, 40% of the air you breath comes from your crawl space, so the horrible smells from the deceased rodents and their feces will cause your whole house to stink.
Look for these signs to know if you have a rodent infestation in your home:
- Are there bad smells that you cannot find the source of?
- Do you hear scurrying sounds coming from your attic?
- Are there feces covering the insulation or vapor barrier in your attic and crawl space?
- Are torn pieces of insulation covering your crawl space vapor barrier?
Cascade Pest Control & Clean Crawls Working Together for You
Cascade Pest Control and Clean Crawls have joined forces to help you restore your attic and crawl space areas with an award-winning process that gets rid of the rodents, the smell, and gives you a healthy attic and crawl space.
Clean Crawls’ highly trained crews will go into your attic or crawl space and remove:
- Your insulation
- Construction debris
- Rodent droppings and deceased rodents
Then to deter rodents from coming back, Clean Crawls and Cascade Pest provides rodent exclusion or rodent proofing to prevent entry points such as:
- Gaps
- Cracks
- Holes
- And if needed, screen your attic and crawl space vents
After animal exclusion has been performed, we spray a non-toxic odor neutralizer, Expel, which will get rid of any lingering smells that were left over after the removal. Once the removal, exclusion work, and deodorizing have been completed, Cascade Pest Control will schedule a pest setup and at least two follow-ups to check for rodent activity. Once we are sure that the rodents are gone, because no new activity is present, Clean Crawls will install your brand-new insulation.
Ongoing Rodent Control for Prevention
To prevent future rodent infestations and ensure your Clean Crawls warranty remains intact, Cascade Pest Control provides monthly or bi-monthly pest/rodent control services. Our strategic partnership assures that your most valued investment – your home – is protected.
