When your home is overrun with critters, in particular rats, they have to be coming from somewhere. Small holes, cracks in the vents of your home, or gaps under tile roofing can all provide plenty of access for rat looking for a meal. In fact, a rat only needs a half inch gap to squeeze through, and some smaller rats can squeeze through an even smaller space. At Advanced Animal Trappers, we specialize in locating and sealing any gaps, holes, or tears in your home that could admit Orlando rodents.
Finding Gaps
Because a rat can easily enter your home through a space no larger than a quarter, it is vital that every potential entry point and hole is sealed carefully and professionally. Our team of experts starts by doing a full investigation of your home, from the foundation and the basement to the roof and every nook and cranny in between.
This investigation looks for common entry points such as gaps in vents in your attic, ridge caps on your roof, gaps between the tile roofing and your roof, pipe entry points into your house, and any number of entry points and cut holes inside your home where wiring or pipes provide access to appliances. Even the cord connecting your washing machine to the power source can be a prime location for rats to enter.
Fixing the Entry Points
If your car has a leaky tire, do you continually fill it with air or do you patch the leak? Trying to kill, trap, and remove rats in Orlando without first patching the holes through which they enter your home is a waste of time and will only frustrate you further when the pests return. Rat repairs are vital to the successful extermination and protection of a home infested with rats in Orlando.
Using screens, metal plates and heavy gauge screws, we close up the entry points that rats are using to get into your home.
If you are finally tired of fighting the constant infestation of rats into your home and want to take control of your living space once and for all, call the Orlando area rat repair experts at Advanced Animal Trapping. We can provide a full inspection and outline the repairs that will help keep you and your family safe from rat entry for good.
