Exterior Inspection
A technician was called in to disinfect a crawl space that was heavily infested with rats. The total area that needed to be disinfected was 144 Square feet with two feet of clearance. Technicians need to work in incredibly tight spaces in order to do work in crawl spaces and such.
Initial Measures Taken
To combat the smell, the technician used a fogger and ONA gel. These are great for neutralizing odours and decontaminating the space since foggers use highly concentrated chemicals that can penetrate walls and surfaces. The bulk of the work was done by removing debris and things in the crawl space. Since the crawl space is usually filled with rubble.
Conclusion
The rat case was a success, and the case was successfully closed. The smell was notably lesser when they came back for exclusion and the property was fully excluded to make sure no wildlife animal could take advantage of the property anymore. It is very important to know as a property owner to be able to recognize the signs of a rat infestation and what to do against it. Over-the-counter measures have little effect because of the lack of active ingredients and lack of knowledge that is needed to deploy these rat poisons effectively.
