Today we went to see a building in Dunedin, Florida which had been suffering from an severe rodent infestation. The property had sat empty due to foreclosure for over a year or so. As soon as the new owner obtained the home sight unseen, this individual omitted to have assessment performed by either a house inspector or a capable pest management technician. The 1st evening that they spent inside your home was a huge pain for the gentleman and his spouse and children. They spent the vast majority of that night hearing scratching sounds in the crawl space. The kids ended up terrified and his better half was frantic. After I arrived, I could tell quickly that the infestation was severe. The aroma of rat urine in the house was too much to handle and rat poop was thick within the attic. Damage was being done to the electrical wires and also to the A/C system in the crawl space. The insulation had been marked with the pathways the fruit rats were making use of plus the odor was atrocious. This is typical when we go on a Dunedin pest control rodent call.
After the preliminary inspection, we explained to the customer the procedure that needed to be carried out so that they can eliminate the rat infestation. The first step should be to find and also close off every one of the entry points throughout the residence together with clean up of any contributing factors on the exterior of the house. Next step will be trapping together with removal of the rodents contained in the house and finally continued checking and rat bait placements on the outside of the house.
A long time afterwards, once the exclusion were being concluded, we assured the consumer that we would certainly return in the morning as well as take away the rodents that happen to be in the actual traps. Even though the family had to tolerate a few more evenings associated with flurried rodent activity, these folks were extremely relieved that anything had been completed to alleviate the pests.
We will let you know over the next couple of days just how things workout.
