fad Tesla but what you doing up here data well I'm basically just taking a look around I want to see
if there's any evidence of mice looking along the sides here and since this is rolled in insulation
mice will run underneath the insulation on the backside of the drywall so I like to pick a few
random areas pull the insulation back take a look around through the edges see if I'm noticing any
holes with any kind of discoloration that's gonna give me any kind of indication that mice have been
running through up here and I mean if you look at the back of this drywall here it's very clean
there's no droppings there's no rubbing from a prolonged period of rodents going in any given
direction there's no bad smells up in the attic it smells just like a typical attic nothing to
indicate any nesting materials based off of a smell because I don't smell any urine I'm
not seeing any feces want to take a look around just didn't see if I notice any droppings from
mice and well I'm here to take care of rodents obviously but when I'm going around checking for
holes things like this crack right here is definitely not something that a mouse would
get in I'm gonna take care of a home for mice I want to stop everything that's getting in so I'm
gonna put a nice ceiling up through there very big hole alright so right here we have this very large
mouse hole so what we want to do is we want to eliminate this as an entry point so what I'm gonna
do first its stuff some steel wool in here is a nice backing make sure that goes up nice and tight
I can still get my finger up in there and I don't like that so I'm gonna grab another
smaller piece and I'm gonna tuck that up in there I like to try to get all the loose
strands and everything tucked away and then come back with the sealant again and then try
to make it look nice a nice barrier it's also really nice because the mice won't chew through
all right so underneath deciding here behind the spigot the the wood is starting to rot out
due to a little bit of water so there isn't a hole there yet but to keep there from being a
hole I have stuffed some steel wool up in there and as long as we are taking this home for rodent
control that'll be something that I'll I will always check on because I can't put a ceiling
in place and expect it to seal where there's moisture anytime they come out to do any type
of an extended service I will always monitor this and you look at the cinder block you can see how
there's like some grayish rubbing this right here is a very prime rodent entry point this is the
pipe where the air conditioner line runs in and you can see that right there is a rodent Highway
we're gonna take this steel wall we're gonna pack that in there and take our trust and seal it here
after getting the home sealed which is you know the key to stopping the rodents from getting
inside but to aid with that we put bait stations on the outside of the house what that does is it
helps to reduce the outside population keeping the number of rodents that want to try to get
into the house to the bare minimum in doing that it keeps the house sealed it keeps the rodents
from finding a way to get in or to make a new way to get you you can see these faint little smudge
marks right here this is from a mouse coming out from here coming underneath and slipping
back underneath and just about every single joist area that you look at here you can see the little
bit of rubbing so when I do my put my initial basement inspection which I had already done
prior to coming down here this was some of the first things that I noticed this also gave me a
good indication on where to look outside even though technically I'm going around sailing
the whole exterior the last thing to do is to implement a little bit of control inside and so
for that I have a couple of small bait boxes that I'm gonna be placing up on these sills
to eliminate any rodents that have possibly been trapped inside well that was essentially
a rodent control setup for an initial service through advanced wildlife control I hope you
learned something well thanks for watching hope you guys enjoy the video definitely appreciate
Josh take your time out of his day to walk us through how we as a vets wildlife control does
our rotor control for our customers definitely appreciate and the Cabot's feedback or ideas
for future videos I definitely would appreciate that if you have a duds already leave a like it
subscribe definitely a lot of videos cover the future well until then have a great day
