A Guide To Decatur Georgia Attic Animal Wildlife Proofing
by Dave L. Weglin
If animals are living in your attic, they can cause extensive damage to the plumbing, wiring and its structure. They can also become vectors of diseases. You can keep the loft of your property free from animal wildlife through consistent home maintenance. Decatur Georgia attic animal wildlife proofing involves performing routine inspections of the attic and the exteriors of your property and taking precautionary measures to ensure that animals do not make their homes in your loft.
Before animal proofing your attic, you should first check if there are animals residing in it. You can know that there are animals in your loft if you hear noises like scurrying, rolling and thumping. Other signs include droppings, chewed wiring, gnawed boards, nests and holes on the outside of the house that appear chewed open.
If they notice that there are animals residing in their attics, homeowners should either trap and release them themselves or hire a wildlife control specialist to do this for them. Removing animals from a loft is crucial because the measures that are taken to animal proof it may keep them inside. If this happens, the animals can damage the loft further or die in it.
After getting rid of animals from your loft, the next step is to inspect the exterior parts of your house for manmade openings such as soffit events and chimney pipes as well as small holes. The best way to keep animals like rats, raccoons and squirrels from entering your property is to seal any holes you find on the exterior parts of your home. You should also ensure that the vent covers on soffit events are firmly installed.
Property owners should then block any holes they find close to the roof line or on the roof with hardware cloths. If the soffit vents of their homes lack vent covers, they should purchase the covers and attach them to the vents. If the soffit vents have holes that are large enough for animals to pass through, they can attach a steel screen over them.
If your home has a chimney and its opening is too large, you may buy and install a chimney cap to keep wildlife out. Make sure that you select the right cap for your chimney because an unsuitable cap can significantly reduce the air flow. You can hire a contractor to install the cap for you or follow the installation directions.
Homeowners can keep wildlife from returning to their properties by getting rid of any food sources on the exteriors of their homes. They should always keep garbage cans closed tightly. If possible, they should keep the garbage cans in their garages or sheds.
