With an older house comes sizable issues that are hard to maintain, then the house I’m living in is over 20 years old plus there are a lot of areas that are falling apart or require a lot of service, but i knew that some of these issues would need attention at some point while I was living here, but that still didn’t change how irritated I was by each plus every project that came up! Currently, I have a critter issue in my attic.
I didn’t realize that my attic was housing critters until I began hearing them run around above me.
It sounded like they were racing each other! I called an exterminator to come handle the issue, plus she told me that the process would take numerous weeks, when I asked him why they were living in my attic, she said it was because the heat my boiler was providing was rising up into the attic. The pull down attic door that was situated in the hallway wasn’t sealed absolutely well due to the age of the house. The exterminator recommended that I purchase a strip to seal the edges of the door so that the heat wouldn’t continue to rise into the attic, and she also said that there was a small hole in the attic that led to the outside, which was where the critters were entering the attic. She was convinced that if I patched the hole plus sealed the door, that it would eliminate my critter problem completely.
