Dead animals are a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty things. They attract flies, spread disease, and smell awful. Dead animals need to be handled with caution. The area where the dead animal was found must also be disinfected and deodorized. This will ensure that the smell goes away and that any harmful bacteria is killed off.

Disinfectant and Deodorize

If you suspect that you have a dead animal in the house, call Attic World LLC. We’ll inspect your house and find where the smell is coming from. Once we find the animal, we’ll remove it, clean, sanitize, and deodorize the area. This may require:

• Reinsulating the attic, walls, or crawlspace
• Deodorizing treatment
• Replacing drywall or other materials

Seal Off All Entryways

Oftentimes, animals get into the home by exploiting a structural weakness. Some will chew, scratch, or burrow their way in. We’ll repair any minor damages caused by the animal as well as animal-proof all potential entryways.

Having a rat in the home can cause serious problems. If you’ve seen or even suspect that you have a rat in the home, call Attic World LLC immediately. We’ll do a thorough inspection and begin the removal and exclusion process right away.

Rat Problems

• Cause serious damage to water lines, drain pipes, electrical wires, air ducts, and in-home structures
• Eat garbage and food that is left out
• Carry many diseases and parasites
• Can drop 40-50 fecal pellets a day
• Will bite and scratch

How Rats Get in the Home

Rats can enter the house through roof lines, water pipes, gas pipes, holes leading to the basement, air vents and ducts, holes in the attic—pretty much anywhere there’s an opening.

Once they’re in, rats can quickly travel throughout the home. It is important to get rid of rats as soon as possible. Evidence of rats is often found near the hot water heater and furnace since they serve as a hub for pipes and air ducts. They often build nests in the walls, crawl spaces, and attic to keep warm and give birth. A rat can have 6-12 offspring at a time, and a typical female will have 4-6 litters a year. 

Removal Process

1. We start the removal process by inspecting the entire house. With our inspection, we should be able to locate where the rats are living as well as where they are coming in.
2. Once these locations have been noted, we will install one-way exit tunnels in the area that will prevent the rats from reentering the house once they’ve left. In most cases, we also install traps in the problem areas to speed up the eviction process. Plus, we offer free pick-up until they’re all gone.
   
3. We will animal-proof any holes or cracks that could be used as an entryway. Our exclusion techniques are sure to keep the rats out and your family safe.

We do not use poisons as part of our removal process. Using poisons can cause health hazards to your pets and family, and aren’t as effective as our exit tunnels. Plus poisons could cause the rats to die inside the home, leaving you with even more problems.

Rodent Control

To keep rats away from your house in the future, be sure to:

• Keep debris away from the house
• Keep garbage cans sealed
• Keep pantry and cupboards closed
• Do not leave food out for long periods of time
• Keep countertops clean
• Keep garage doors and crawl space doors shut.
