RATS!!!
Can someone help me in With this problem? This sounds really gross but, I have a rat infestation!!! If anyone is familiar or has had similar problems, I would be grateful :)
There seems to be a severe rat infestation at one of my properties. I had my exterminators go back out Friday to treat for them. They notified me that there are numerous entry points throughout the house and underneath the house. See their notes below ...
"I had the technician look at what we need to do to seal the house from the rats, and at this point it is beyond our scope of work. We aren’t qualified to do the extensive sheet rock repairs that are needed in the hot water heater closet, behind the stove & dishwasher. I think a contractor or your maintenance may want to go take a look at the exterior. The under pinning (?) needs to be repaired ( that’s what my guy called it). Basically all around the perimeter of this pier & beam home needs to be sealed so rats can’t just crawl under the house, and then into it from the many openings behind the appliances or the massive gap in the hot water heater closet.
Hope this helps in letting the owner know what needs to be done,"
I will need to find somebody that can and will do this kind of work to go get an estimate. I would expect it to possibly be pricey due to the extensive work needed.
Anyone with sound advice?
