. Even if they could pay part of your mortgage each month, it’s doubtful you’d want mice, rats, bats, termites, or cockroaches to take up residence in your home. They’re simply not fun bedfellows. Realtor.com’s Larissa Runkle says that now that you finally got around to putting all of your holiday decor back in the attic, you may have noticed damage done by some unwelcome houseguests. After all — it’s winter and they have to live somewhere. “Knowing precisely what you’re dealing with can be challenging when you encounter a mess made by pests. And since most of these creatures don’t come out and introduce themselves, it might take some digging to identify the problem and solution,” says Runkle. She spoke to pest control experts about visitors most likely to camp in your attic this winter, telltale signs of common infestations, and how to mitigate the problem. Tea and sympathy take no part in having guests like these; before you embark on any pest eradication, know that most pests carry a slew of bacteria and diseases. “Be sure to wear gloves and a mask when checking areas or dealing with a mess left behind,” says Runkle. “Clean up with a disinfectant spray or bleach solution. If you’re using a vacuum, you’ll want to make sure it has a HEPA filter to avoid making contaminants airborne.” Pest expert Emma Grace Crumley says, “Attics can be unsafe if you don’t know how to move throughout them. If the pest entry point is on the far end of your attic or in a dangerous area, contact a professional for assistance.” Reach out for more! Realtor, TBWS
