If they can smell it, they will come

Rats in the AtticAnimals communicate in many ways through bodily waste. Odors from urine in some female mammals can let their male counterparts know they are ready to breed.  In others, a scent left behind from  urine can guide it at night through the paths they have made to “home”… usually your home.

For the discussion of wildlife or rodent issues within the home or attic (as it is in most cases) we need to understand how urine and feces left behind can attract other species of wildlife. These odors, if left untreated will act as an attractant and draw other animals to your home. Raccoons for example eat rats and will be compelled to enter an attic that smells of urine for a meal. Opossums also eat rats and will follow their scent just about anywhere to get a meal.

At animals in the attic we decontaminate the effected areas of your home or business to destroy disease causing bacteria harmful to humans and pets and we deodorize the area to remove the attractant smells wildlife leaves behind. This decontamination process combined with our state of the art exclusion services (animal proofing) will provide you with the best defense against any further wildlife intrusion.
