Rodents Can Cause Structural Damage

Rodent infestation removal is very important to deal with because rodents tend to cause damage to a variety of places in your home. Since they are constantly trying to find a warm place to stay, they are always chewing through whatever is in their way. They chew through insulation and ducting causing your heating bills to rise drastically, electrical wiring which can cause electrical fires, furniture, cars, and plumbing fixtures which can cause flooding. Another way they can cause damage is from their droppings and urine stains on wood and insulation. If a rodent infestation isn't dealt with, the possible damage is endless because a rodent's teeth never stop growing. The cost of the damage that rodents cause is very high, so it's important to take care of the problem right away.

Rodents Carry Dangerous Diseases

In addition to the structural damage, rodents can cause health issues to the people around them. Diseases that people can get from rodents include:

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome - This virus can be picked up from the droppings and urine of deer mice. It causes severe illness in humans and nearly one-third of the cases reported in Washington state resulted in fatality.
Plague - The Plague is a serious bacterial infection that humans can contract from flea bites. Fleas contract this bacteria from infected wild animals, such as rodents. Dogs and cats can also contract the disease and spread it to humans. In 2015, there were fifteen reported cases of the Plague.
Salmonellosis - Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection of the intestines caused by the bacteria Salmonella. The bacteria is spread through the droppings of infected animals and humans. It can cause serious disease in children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems.
Monkeypox - Monkeypox is a virus that spreads through contact with rodents or their blood and can cause respiratory problems in humans. There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, only a vaccine that lowers your risk of contracting it.

Signs To Look For

Scratching noises at night inside the walls or ceiling
Droppings or urine stains in attic or crawlspace insulation
Dark colored oily smudges on top of small openings that rodents could get through
Nests in insulation near and around ducting
Pets, dogs or cats, scratching or staring at floor vents because they can hear rodent activity

Why Wasps Are So Dangerous

Do you know why wasps can be worse than honey bees? Honey bees can only sting once, but wasps don't have that same attribute and can sting you again and again. They are also easily provoked, even by accident. If you hit or smash a wasp, pheromones are released that will alert other wasps to attack you. Wasps are very aggressive when defending their colony and are more likely to attack when you are within 7-8 yards of their nest.

Wasps Can Cause Structural Damage

Wasp nests or hives can cause structural damage when they are built inside of your home. When lying on drywall, the nests or hives can cause the drywall to disintegrate. As the drywall disintegrates, more and more wasps will come into the structure leading to a dangerous situation.

Signs To Look For

Here are some signs your home may have been invaded by a wasp colony and are in need of Bellevue wasp nest removal:

Nests or hives in and around structures
High numbers of wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets
Constant activity of wasps coming from or going into any particular opening

Hobo Spider Identification

Hobo spiders have a V-shape pattern on their abdomens, solid brown legs, hairy legs and back, 5/8 – 1¾ inches long including the legs, and noticeable spinnerets. They are fast runners, make funnel-shaped webs, and are nocturnal.

Hobo Spider Bite Symptoms

Hobo spider bites are painful and in some cases have lead to death. If you are bitten by a hobo spider, seek medical attention to get proper treatment. The symptoms of a hobo spider bite include:

Muscular weakness
Dizziness
Disorientation
Confusion
Sweating
Nausea
Severe headache
Joint pain

Ways to Get Rid of Hobo Spiders

Clear the Clutter
If you have a lot of clutter around your house, clear it. The more clutter you have, the more places there are for hobo spiders to hide.

Clean your House
Spiders come around when there are other insects that can be eaten. And other insects come around when there is stuff in your house that they can eat. So clean up your kitchen, vacuum, dust, do laundry regularly, and keep your house clean.

Improve your Storage
If you are currently storing things in cardboard boxes, be prepared to find lots of hobo spiders. Make the switch to plastic bins that can be securely closed. If spiders can't get in, they won't stick around.

Fill in Hide-Away Holes
Hobo spiders usually made their webs in cracks, holds, or crevices. By filling in these holes with silicone caulk you can keep them away from your home.

Dehumidify
Hobo spiders are drawn to moisture so by getting a few dehumidifiers, you can create an environment that they dislike.

Make your Yard Unattractive
Your yard doesn't have to unattractive to humans, but it should be to spiders. Remove plans and vegetation within a foot of your house, get rid of debris piles, and remove all mulch. Insects are drawn to mulch and the hobo spiders follow.

“Classic Insulation removed all of the old insulation in both my attic and crawl space and re-insulated both with more modern materials. In addition they put down a new vapor barrier in the crawl space.
I have had two other professional insulation people review the work and they both have said that it was one of the best professional jobs they had seen in a crawl space and attic. I have been very pleased with their work and the timeliness of the job. My house is over 35 years old. “
