DO YOU LIKE WILD ANIMALS?

     

Animals are beautiful and necessary for our environment and the ecosystem equilibrium but for urban areas, it is a better idea keep them away. Recently I was in a customer house and the owner told me that they were without AC because of a disgusting animal death odor coming from the AC vent. There was a possum death above the AC duct. Other people have been bite by a wild animal and many of them could carry diseases.

You could try to avoid that using these measurements:

• Protect your roof vent with a screen (but do not block the pipe, the pipe needs the breath).
• Cover or protect the basement windows, the attic windows, the fascia, any hole between the roof and the attic, The surroundings or entrances under the house or mobile home.
• If you already have an animal for example in your attic or under the house call a wildlife company to remove them before they get sick or die in there. Believe me, you do not want a dead animal in your attic it will damage your insulation, drywall, texture, paint, and even could eat your AC ducts or wires.
• Do not cover the hole with the animal in there. Even a little death rat can smell a lot for weeks.
• Cover immediately the hole if the animal is caught or you think it has gone.
• Do not try to catch yourself the wild animal but if so wear special gloves and a protective suit.
