| Let's talk more about the potential for problems! If you own this home, you should jump on this problem right away. Look at ronalawn's example, yikes. If they are rodents of some kind, you could be talking about a population explosion if allowed to carry on without control. Damage to the actual structure is likely, as well as to your insulation, wiring, plastic pipes, etc. Animals bring their own little parasites with them, too! Mites, fleas, ticks, etc. NO THANKS! Hire someone who will get up there in the daylight, without the help of a flashlight. Sometimes the gleam of sunlight will show clearly where the gaps are. I believe that exclusion is the best way to go, rather than resorting to poisons. But you must do something or the situation will only get worse. (Don't even think of mothballs, by the way. They are more hazardous to you than most things around the home.) |
