Call a roofing contractor to make sure you home is protected against unwanted guests!
Are there unwanted raccoons, possums, mice, rats, birds on your roof? These, along with several others, are collectively called “vermin.” Vermin is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as:
any of the many small animals with filthy, destructive, troublesome habits as flies, lice, bedbugs, mice, rats, and weasels.
During the night you may hear strange noises and sounds that can be concerning and disturbing. Many homeowners find vermin living or nesting in their roofs or attics, and they usually learn that they have unwanted tenants after the damage to their homes is already done. The picture below shows a damaged roof caused by any of these creatures.
The extent and type of damage are typical in situations like this. The sad thing is, it usually serves as a gateway for even more damage like water and wind damage that can be very expensive and may need quite extensive repairs. Poor maintenance of the roof is usually to blame like the thatch not being covered correctly. When the winter season hits, these pests make their way to seek warmth and food in your attic and roof. Rodents are unhygienic animals. Not only that, but they can also be dangerous. In some cases, they can start residential fires because they can chew through wires in and around your home. They can usually hide in attics and can chew through pretty much anything including drywall, plastic, metal, wood, and many other materials to get wherever they want to go. Rats mainly prefer to build their nests and live in where it’s dark or where they can find routes to move throughout your home like ducts, channels, pipes and big or small openings to find and gain access to water and food. You can call a Pest control service to take these vermins, but the damage would have to be repaired by a roofing contractor. They can patch, open and clean up the holes where the debris got built up caused by these unwanted critters. Roofing companies like Atkins Roofing can protect your home with wire mesh that will cut the rodents’ mouth if they try to bite or chew on it.
