Christmas is coming and it’s time to get the Christmas decorations out. Now, is there something loitering in those boxes full of glittery holiday joyfulness? Pests in Delta love attics and crawl spaces. They particularly love munching on boxes used to store your holiday decorations as well the decorations themselves. The most common pests found in attics and crawl spaces in Delta are silverfish, spiders, and rodents. Silverfish are an extremely common attic pest here. They eat starch, glue, sugar, photographs, and synthetic or starched fabrics. Silverfish fancy damp spaces and paper stowing areas. Spiders love attics and crawl spaces as well! While all spiders can bite if provoked, they normally dodge human contact and they can also indicate the presence of other pests that they feed on. The Norway rat is the most common rodent in Delta, making up 85% of the population; the roof rat makes up the balance. Inside the home, rats can be heard scratching or running in the attic, crawlspaces and walls. They chew through wires, gnaw through plastic and metal water pipes, make holes in walls, and leave feces and urine everywhere they go. In addition to damaging your attic and its contents, rats are also filthy creatures they carry as carry bacteria and diseases. If you have evidence of any of these pests in your attic or crawlspace and if you’re too afraid to look yourself, then contact gogreenpestcontrol.ca for an inspection.
