How to Keep Pests Out of Your Attic | Newton Pest Control, Newton, MA
Protecting Your Attic from Pest Infestations
Attics provide ideal conditions for pests seeking shelter, warmth, and nesting sites. Newton Pest Control helps homeowners throughout Newton and MetroWest prevent costly pest damage to attics and stored belongings.
Common Attic Pests
New England attics attract:
- Squirrels looking for winter shelter
- Raccoons seeking denning sites
- Mice and rats escaping cold weather
- Bats roosting in summer months
- Wasps and hornets building nests
- Carpenter ants tunneling in wooden beams
Inspection and Prevention
Regular attic inspections identify problems early. Check for entry points, droppings, nesting materials, insulation damage, gnaw marks on wiring, and moisture problems that attract pests.
Sealing Attic Entry Points
Common vulnerabilities include:
- Roof vents without proper screening
- Gaps where soffits meet walls
- Damaged or missing ridge vents
- Unsealed utility penetrations
- Broken gable vents
- Gaps around attic access doors
Proper Ventilation Matters
Good airflow reduces moisture and heat that attract pests. Ensure vents are screened with hardware cloth small enough to exclude rodents and bats.
Storage Best Practices
Store items in sealed plastic containers rather than cardboard boxes. Keep storage organized with clear pathways for inspections. Avoid storing food items in attics.
