Rodent Infestation? It’s Time For The Vermin To Go!
The crawl space under the floor is often depicted in scary movies as a place where monsters and otherwise undesirable houseguests lurk. While untrue (in most cases), there is certainly potential for other types of unsafe situations to arise as a result of not cleaning or maintaining your crawl space.
Unknown to most homeowners, your crawl space can negatively impact your health and your home’s energy efficiency. Fortunately, you can trust Attic Projects, the experts in crawl space cleaning in Seattle, to ensure your crawl space is an asset to your home and not a detriment. If you are wary about crawling into the deep dark abyss underneath your home, give us a call to schedule an estimate today.

Not certain if you have an animal infestation in your attic and too squeamish to check? Here are signs you might have animals in your attic:
Rodents and other pests are masters at squeezing themselves through tiny holes, cracks, and crevices. Any little crack or hole is seen as an open invitation for a critter to come in and take up residence in your attic.
Rodents can climb trees, but can also enter your attic through other routes. They may find holes in your roof, or find a way into your garage and climb all the way up inside walls to nest in your warm attic insulation. Rodent proofing the attic is the only way to stop them from returning.
Rodents and other animals like your attic because it’s convenient and warm, often arriving when it’s to escape the cold. Your box of Christmas decorations is a cozy place to curl up or better yet, rodents love to get into the warm, fuzzy insulation and make a nest!
Insulation is also a great place for rodents to reproduce, as the attic is a safe haven for critters. It’s quiet, dark, and rarely do people enter it. Regardless of the reasons rodents love your attic, Attic Projects can remove the waste and damage left behind from a rodent infestation, then rodent-proof your attic, ensuring you have eradicated the rodent problem for good.
You might think a cute little mouse couldn’t do much damage to your attic, but oh how wrong you are. Those little critters can cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to your home.
Rodents are chewers. They can chew through just about anything – from electrical wires to drywall to plastic containers. The professionals at Attic Projects have seen it all! Chewed electrical wires in your attic can be a fire hazard. Think of all that insulation in your attic and a frayed wire – frightening stuff!
Holes in walls from chewing can entice other rodents to take up residence in your attic as well as allow water to enter, which then could lead to a mold problem.
Rodents urinate and defecate on everything, and their waste is very harmful to humans.
Most times, when there is a rodent infestation in your attic, all the insulation will need to be replaced.
Rodents carry dangerous diseases, harmful bacteria, and allergens that can cause illness and respiratory issues. If you discover rodents in your home, you should get the problem taken care of right away!
Infectious diseases carried by rodents shouldn’t be taken lightly. These diseases can cause fatal respiratory issues in humans. It’s known that mice and rats can spread more than 35 diseases, through either the handling of alive or dead animals, rodent feces and urine, or bites and saliva.
An infected rodent can also infect humans with fleas, ticks, and mites. Some rodents also carry ringworm and tapeworms that humans can contract.
Removing rodents from your attic is not a weekend DIY project. Traps and poisons are temporary and don’t actually prevent rodents from coming back. Plus, who wants to remove harmful decaying animals without the proper equipment?
Only a professional can truly find all the points of entry and seal them up for good. Our professionals also use high-grade sprays and cleaners that remove and sanitize the germs and bacteria rodents carry and leave behind in their feces and urine. When suffering from a true rodent infestation, eradicating rodents in your attic yourself is not recommended.
If you notice unwelcome critters in your attic, the professionals at Attic Projects can rodent-proof the attic for you. Many homeowners go the route of using traps or poisons to remove current rodents, but that isn’t removing the source of the problem. Holes and cracks are where the rodents are coming in. If those entry points are not sealed, your problem is not gone.
To truly rodent-proof your home, a professional will thoroughly search your attic, identifying all the entry points that critters are using to get access. These areas will be sealed off, so rodents or other animals will no longer be able to gain access to your attic.
While the professionals rodent-proof your attic, they will remove any soiled insulation and inspect electrical wires, drywall, and other areas that could have been chewed. Our team employs innovative rodent proofing techniques to ensure your attic never has rodents again.

You should always call the professionals at Attic Projects to eliminate the rodents invading your home. We have the equipment necessary to humanely remove the rodents and keep them from coming back for good. Instead of just getting rid of pests, we also proof your crawl space and attic so they can’t come back. Most pest control companies only offer a temporary fix for your pest problem.
Having rodents or other pests in your attic or crawl space can have a negative impact on your health. Rodents carry dangerous diseases and bacteria with them that could cause respiratory issues and other illnesses in you and your family. Common illnesses include hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
Yes! If you have rodents or other pests in your home, we will humanely remove them. The traditional method of poison does not offer a good solution for you or the animals in the home. Using poison to try and fix the problem could lead to the animal parishing and decaying in a place that cannot be reached. This method also exposes you, your family, and your pets to harmful toxins that could cause health issues or even be fatal.
We doubt that you’ll need us again, but if you do — we got you covered.
