North Bellingham
Two doors, two problems: the crawl space vents that let everybody in
One crawl space vent had a torn screen. The one next to it had no screen at all. Skunks, rats, opossums and raccoons were all using them. Here's what to check at your house.
Cordata, Bellingham
Rats along the green belt: a Cordata crawlspace inspection
Rats were being seen along the green belt and fence line in Cordata. We inspected the crawlspace and set bait stations around the home.
Lakeway / Bellingham
Overgrown plants invite rodents off Lakeway Drive in Bellingham
Ferns and shrubs packed against the house gave rodents a hidden highway right to an open gap. A good reminder to keep plants trimmed back.
Questions
How do rats and mice get into Whatcom County homes?
Rodents only need a hole the size of a quarter (rats) or a dime (mice). They use gaps around crawlspace vents, roof junctions, foundation pipes, and door sweeps, and move indoors when the fall rains start.
Are rodent bait stations safe around dogs, cats, and farm animals?
Yes. We use heavy-duty, tamper-resistant, keyed bait stations. Pets, children, and non-target wildlife cannot reach the bait inside.
How long does it take to get rid of rats in an attic or crawlspace?
Most active rodent infestations are brought under control within 1 to 2 weeks.
Do you replace chewed or soiled attic insulation?
Our focus is on eliminating the rodents completely and stopping the damage. For insulation cleanout and replacement, we leave that to dedicated insulation and crawlspace professionals once the pests are gone.
