Attics are warm. They’re dry. They’re safe from predators. They are full of insulation which happens to make ideal nesting material.
Some rats even get lucky, squeezing through vents at night to find a little pet food to snack on, or to steal a few crumbs that got missed in the evening clean-up.
Left to their own devices, city pests will destroy even the nicest of homes. They’ll chew up your insulation, which increases your energy bill. They’ll chew on your wires, increasing fire risks. They’ll die in your walls, creating horrific smells that devalue your home. If they run around outside your attic they’ll stain your walls with greasy rat runs. Their droppings can discolor ceilings and create smells. They carry disease.
Even a brand new build home like the ones out in Avondale on Main Street could have small spaces that rodents can exploit. You’d be surprised to know just how small those holes can be! Rats can squeeze and contort their bodies to fit through holes the size of a quarter! There’s no shame if some have found their way into your home.
Fortunately, we’re real close to Meyerland, and we’re happy to help
