"David was very easy to work with and flexible. These types of services can obviously be costly and this was no exception. But, between repairing raccoon attic damage, installing hardware to prevent future gutter, garage, and attic damage, I had certainly called David again in the future if I had further issues with 4-legged pests."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.

If the nest is on or in your home, you should have an exterminator remove it. However, if the wasp nest is in an area of your yard that you don't frequent, you can leave it alone as long as the wasps don’t bother your household members. Wasps are very active during the summer months, but they will vacate in the fall and not return until the following year. So, if it's safe to do so, you can leave it, but if it poses a threat of being stung because it's in an area that you use frequently, consider having it removed.

Mites hate dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and specific scents. Since they prefer humid environments, eliminating moisture inside your home can help kill them off. If you have essential oils at your disposal, you can use eucalyptus, rosemary, and clove to help get rid of and keep mites at bay.

Roof rats get their name because they’re most often found in attics or the area around the attic. They often use tree limbs that hang over a roof to get into a home’s attic and look for shelter. Once inside, they not only like the attic space but can also burrow themselves into soffits or small holes in the ceiling and build their nest.

Although it would make things easier for you, animals won’t likely leave the attic on their own. Unless the animal finds seasonal respite in your attic, it’s likely to stay in a protected space as long as it is allowed. Get rid of animals in your attic by calling the appropriate wildlife removal professionals so they can safely and efficiently remove the critters from your home, being careful to avoid further damage to your home.
