Can Birch Fumigators control pests that have infested my attic and crawl spaces?

Yes, Birch Fumigators can provide pest control services for attics and crawl spaces that have been infested by pests. Attics and crawl spaces are common areas for pests like rodents, insects, and bats to seek shelter and build nests. Birch Fumigators have the expertise to identify the specific pest issue and develop a targeted approach to eliminate the infestation. They can employ various methods such as trapping, baiting, exclusion techniques, and eco-friendly treatments to control and remove the pests from these spaces. Additionally, they can provide recommendations for sealing entry points and implementing preventive measures to avoid future infestations. By utilizing their services, Birch Fumigators can help restore the cleanliness and pest-free condition of attics and crawl spaces.

The specific method for eliminating pests from certain spaces depends on the type of pest and the nature of the infestation. Here are some common pest-elimination methods for different spaces:

  1. Insecticides: For crawling insects like ants, cockroaches, or bed bugs, insecticides are often used. They can be applied as sprays, dust, or baits directly to the affected areas.
  2. Traps: Traps are effective for rodents like mice and rats. Snap traps, glue traps, or live-capture traps can be strategically placed to capture and remove pests.
  3. Exclusion Techniques: To prevent pests from entering spaces, exclusion methods like sealing cracks, gaps, and openings can be employed. This is particularly useful for rodents, bats, or birds.
  4. Fumigation: Fumigation is a method used for large-scale or severe infestations. It involves sealing off the space and introducing a gaseous pesticide to eliminate pests.
  5. Heat Treatment: Heat treatment is effective for bed bugs and certain insects. It involves raising the temperature of the affected space to a level that is lethal to the pests.
  6. Biological Controls: In some cases, introducing natural predators or parasites specific to the pest can help control the infestation. This method is commonly used for certain outdoor spaces or agricultural settings.

It’s important to note that the specific pest elimination method may vary based on factors such as the severity of the infestation, the type of pest, and the safety considerations for the space and its occupants. Consulting with a professional pest control service like Birch Fumigators can provide expert guidance and the most appropriate solutions for eliminating pests from specific spaces.

If the vole infestation is severe or if the damage they are causing is extensive, it is recommended to seek the help of a pest control professional like us at Birch Fumigators. We have the expertise and experience to identify the specific species of voles present and develop an effective treatment plan. Professional pest control services can offer advanced methods of control such as fumigation, which may not be safe or practical for individuals to perform on their own.

While voles are not known to transmit diseases to humans, they may carry ticks, fleas, or other parasites that can transmit diseases to other animals.

The best time to control voles is during late fall and early winter. During this period, vegetation is beginning to die back, and snow hasn’t yet fallen in many regions, making it easier to spot signs of vole activity and to apply control measures. Voles are active year-round, but in the late fall and early winter, they begin to establish the under-snow tunnels and pathways that they will use all winter. Implementing control measures, such as placing traps or baits, clearing away vegetation near the garden, or installing physical barriers, during this time can prevent a population explosion in the spring. Additionally, controlling voles before the breeding season in the spring can help minimize the damage they cause to plants and trees throughout the year.

Voles are not considered dangerous to humans or pets, but their activity can cause significant damage to vegetation and landscaping.

Voles can cause damage to lawns, gardens, and crops by feeding on vegetation and gnawing on the bark of trees and shrubs. Their burrowing activity can also damage root systems and disrupt soil structures.

Voles are herbivores and primarily feed on plant matter, such as grasses, roots, bulbs, and seeds. They may also feed on bark, fruits, and vegetables.
