Rodents contaminate food and can make people sick. They leave urine and fecal droppings that contain germs and cause allergic reactions in some people. Even worse, rodents can cause house fires by gnawing on wires.
Get the Facts: Baby rodents mature in 2-5 months and can produce up to six litters per year. A pair of rats and their offspring can multiply to 278 rats in a single year!
Rodents are attracted to crawl spaces because they are warm, damp, and protected from the elements. In addition, they are typically near food supplies (such as trash), and are not usually monitored frequently by homeowners. Crawl spaces supply plenty of entry points for pests, including gaps between the foundation and framing, spaces under doors, penetrations for wires and pipes, vents, and tunnels through dirt floors.
A CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation begins with the removal of organic material that would otherwise support pest life. If rodents are present, an exterminator is called in to eliminate them before the work begins. A crawl space waterproofing system, if necessary, is installed prior to encapsulation as well.
The encapsulation process then makes your crawl space look a lot less like the rodent motel it did before. The water has been “turned off” thanks to waterproofing and dehumidification, deterring rodents that prefer damp conditions. Pest entryways, such as gaps and holes, are carefully sealed with spray foam insulation. Ill-fitting vent covers and hatchway doors are replaced with air-tight vent covers and hatchways. Finally, CleanSpace® crawl spaces are easier to monitor for rodent activity. If a rodent does manage to gain entry, it will be easier to spot the evidence and set a trap.
Get the Facts: Rodents possess soft cartilage that allows them to squeeze through very small openings. A mouse for example, can enter through a hole the size of a dime; a rat can enter through a hole the size of a quarter.
