What Are Crawl Space Pests?
When pests invade, they typically seek refuge in the home’s crawl spaces and other dark or secluded areas.
Typical crawl space pests in Alberta include:
- Ants
- Spiders
- Cockroaches
- Termites
- Crickets
- Mice
- Rats
Once inside your crawl space, insects and rodents can nest in your insulation and destroy wooden structures, jeopardizing your home’s foundation. They also carry serious diseases, creating an unsafe living environment.
Why Your Home Has Crawl Space Pests
Several factors might lead to pests in your crawl space:
- Unsealed vents or cracks in walls
- Exposed soil floors
Addressing these issues with a trained professional will deter further pest infestations in the home.
