Why can’t I just seal the hole that the animal is using to get into the attic, won’t that stop the problem?
- Depending on what animal is getting into the attic, this could be disastrous. The animal that is living in the attic will not like having the front door closed and locked. It will either be trapped in or out. If the animal is trapped in, then it will damage the attic to get out or maybe come into the house. If the animal is outside when you seal it, then it will try to open another hole to get back in.

My friend at work told me that moth balls, ammonia, smoke bombs and coyote urine keep animals away, is that true?
- The short answer is…no. These and other chemicals, if they work at all, will only work for a short while. They would need to be reapplied every few hours, every day in order to have any chance of success. Call us for the long answer.
