Can animals in my attic get into my house?

In particular, it’s likely that small pests such as rats and mice that only need tiny gaps to squeeze through will end up in your walls and ductwork. Larger animals like raccoons may be limited to an enclosed attic.</p></div>

"I put in an Angi request in the middle of the night after a mouse encounter that left me unhappy and ready to call in the experts. I got a call right at 8am from the nicest most knowledgeable man. He took the time to listen to my problem and what I needed. He explained the cost of the service and what they would do. Louis was out that same day, he explained what he was going to do beforehand and then reviewed it with me after he was done. He did a great job making sure that mice in the house were taken care of and mice outside of the house were too. Louis was careful to get rid of the mice in a way that was safe for my animals too. Great company that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future if needed!!"
