Roof, Wall and Water Damage and Rodents

Austin snow and water damage and rats

Austin, circa Feb 2021

We’ve all unfortunately experienced “Icepocalypse 2021” but what about its sequel … Ratpocalypse? Eeek, hopefully not!

However, with the amount of water damage, attic damage, holes and other terrible consequences coming out of the snow and ice events recently, Austin residents should be alert to rodent issues.

Namely, new holes or entries which—if not patched up quickly—can result in mice, rats or other rodents finding their way inside.

Typically as the weather warms, rats and mice spend more time outdoors provided they can find food and water. Warmer temperatures though don’t mean an end to indoor rat issues.

If you hear rustling, see ripped up insulation, smell unusual odors like droppings or rodent waste or have late night scratching sounds around your walls give us a call. Of course first do any major repairs after you recover from this winter blast.

At that point we can provide a low-cost inspection and treatment bid to handle any unwelcome pests in your home.

The last thing anyone wants is to have the icepocalypse cause even MORE issues than it already has.

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
