Pest and wildlife damage

What each pest and wildlife service involves, from finding how they got in to repairing what they damaged, and what to expect from a certified company.

Termites, rodents and wildlife do two kinds of harm: the damage you can see, and the openings, droppings and soiled insulation you usually cannot. The pages below describe each service: what it is, how a careful company approaches it, and why sealing the way in matters as much as dealing with what is already inside.

Pest damage often turns up during a rebuild after a water or storm loss, when walls and attics are opened and hidden framing is exposed. A certified company coordinates the licensed pest professional, the carpenter and the insulation crew so the house is closed up sound.
