Air Seal Against Those Neighborhood Pests | Koala Insulation of Northw
The leaves are falling, the pumpkin spice is all around us and we are grateful to see the holiday season on the horizon. While this season is loved by many for many different reasons, the cooler air has an impact on everyone in our community, including our local neighborhood pests.
While the crisp air might feel nice to you, the squirrels, mice and bats in our community will be soon looking for a cozy place to ride out the fall and winter season ahead. If you have any gaps or cracks along your roof line, your attic might just turn into the next pest motel! Air sealing against those gaps can help keep those pests outside where they belong.
Why Should I Air Seal My Home?
Having gaps or cracks in your home is never ideal, but they can happen any time and can often go unnoticed. Structural damage from strong storms or sagging and gaps that appear as your home ages can leave your spaces vulnerable to the changing season. Not only that, but any holes left behind by plumbing or electrical work can lead to stubborn air leaks.
If you have an air leak, it can cause drafts and uncomfortable temperatures to travel throughout your entire house. This change in temperature can become a strain on your HVAC system as it kicks on to help reverse this issue. Air sealing directly stops this problem in its tracks. It uses caulk and other sealing agents to form a barrier between your home and the elements.
Keeping the Pests Out
Depending on your type of insulation, it can be the perfect bed for outdoor critters. Blown-in insulation and batt insulation can be a fluffy and soft pillow that will keep those squirrels and mice warm throughout the winter. Any sort of gap in your attic can easily be maneuvered by those critters, and they can settle in nicely.
Once they get inside your house, they can be really hard to get out on your own. The longer they are inside, the worse your situation can get. Animals can tamp down your insulation and leave it full of hair, droppings and other hazards. That can render your insulation ineffective but it can also impact your home’s air quality.
How Our Process Works
If you discover any sort of pest in your attic or anywhere in your home, your goal would be to remove it from your home as soon as possible. A reliable pest control company is a great place to start! They have the tools and training to handle the removal entirely. Once the pests are gone, a quick call to us starts the next process.
We will locate the gap or crack and seal it up tight, and then we can work on removing the damaged insulation. We have the protective gear and necessary training needed in order to do this safely! Our team will finish by installing fresh material that will last for years and will be pest-free for just as long.
An air sealing can keep those outdoor critters out of your home. Contact Koala of Northwest Pennsylvania right away.
