Dealing with bugs in the HVAC duct

Last fall, I started hearing weird noises in the walls of our house, however i figured it was either squirrels, mice or chipmunks running around in there.

I knew these critters were going to cause destruction, possibly to wiring, insulation plus even the studs of the walls, and they chew plus build nests plus leave all sorts of disgusting debris behind.

I set out a whole bunch of traps plus poison however accomplished nothing. I checked the exterior plus interior of the house, searching for where the rodents were getting in, with no luck. It wasn’t until I stressed common service for the furnace that I found out the pests were inside the HVAC duct. They’d gotten in through the outdoor component of the air conditioner. They caused a lot of troubles with the cooling component plus cost me a enjoyable deal of currency in repairs, however plus, the infestation prevented me from starting up the furnace. I didn’t want the air our family breathes passing through ducts clogged with mouse droppings plus debris. I called an exterminator to get rid of the rodents plus followed up with duct cleaning. The Heating plus A/C contractor brought in specialized component that looked a lot appreciate an oversized vacuum cleaner. A lengthy hose with a brush attachment was snaked into the duct system. The brush discottaged stubborn contaminants which were then sucked up plus collected. The duct cleaning process took multiple hours however caused no destruction or mess, then not only did the sounds in the walls disapapple however the furnace operated much more efficiently plus effectively. I noticed that our home stayed cleaner, odored better plus the two of us enjoyed a more even temperature from room to room.
