There's a lot more going on in attics than just your storage. Sometimes, especially during the summertime, attics could get infested with some creepy crawlers. As long as they can find food and water, they'll stay put until you come looking for them. If your attic is home to these critters or has been invaded by any other pests, you'll be able to tell from these crucial signs!
Obvious Markings
Some of the things you should look for if you think your attic may be infested are droppings and signs of their presence, such as webs in corners and holes chewed through wood beams. It is essential to clean up these messes and seal any gaps they could potentially be getting through.Strange Smells
When it's summertime, and the attic is hot and humid, these pests can multiply quickly if left unchecked. You'll know you have an infestation if you start to smell a musty scent coming from up there. It could take a while to notice, so it won't hurt just to do some routine checks this season, just in case.How To Keep Them Out
Seal off all possible entrances into the house using weather stripping or expanding foam sealant for gaps around doors and windows. If it is difficult to access these areas, try spraying pest-killing chemicals. Of course, it's also always a good idea to contact the professionals at the first sign of an infestation.
