STEP ONE: CRITTERS ARE EXTERMINATED

STEP TWO: PREVENTATIVE WORK TO KEEP CRITTERS OUT

Pests are drawn to damp, dark areas and a dirt crawlspace creates the perfect home for these critters. Pests typically found in poorly maintained crawlspaces are mice, rats, spiders, snakes, raccoons and opossums. These pests enter the space through cracks, vents, and faulty exterior doors and they love to make homes in old and damaged fiberglass insulation.  

Pests spread diseases, emits foul odors, contaminate surfaces with their feces, and make homes in the insulation, often bringing fleas and ticks with them. Pests can also severely damage the foundation of your home, leading to costly repairs. If you notice any shredded insulation, droppings, chew marks, or odors in your crawl space, there is a good chance you may have a pest infestation. 

If a full on infestation is present, we highly suggest you have an exterminator come and remediate the issue, and to prevent further issues from occurring we suggest sealing off your crawlspace with encapsulation. Our crawlspace encapsulation is great at preventing critters by bringing forth a light bright surface with alack of nesting materials and removing water and humidity within the space. Encapsulating your crawlspace means a 30 mil nylon reinforced vapor barrier with sealed seams, Crawlspace floor insulation, wall insulation, foundation vents are closed and sealed, and a dehumidifier is installed. Proper installation of these items offer top of the line waterproofing and is an effective form of pest control.
