STAYING SAFE IN ATTICS AND CRAWLSPACES

摘要

On a daily basis, as pest management professionals we are tasked with determining our clients' needs, assessing their unique situations and determining solutions to their pest problems. Many times, whether it is a wildlife issue, insect or rodent-related problem, the pests causing the issue have either passed through, or inhabit the crawlspace, or attic, of a home. To conduct a thorough inspection of a home, the crawlspace or attic should not be overlooked, and it should be a key in determining the source, extent and solution to the pest problem. The attic and crawlspace of a home can expose the PMP to some of the most hazardous conditions in our industry. In this article, we'll discuss what we might encounter, good practices to follow when hazardous conditions are found, and techniques and equipment to make crawlspace and attic work safe and effective.
