]]> If you’ve ever noticed a sudden surge of flies in your home or an unexplained foul odor coming from above, your attic could be the culprit. That’s exactly what happened to a Tacoma homeowner who called us for help. The smell of something dead and an increasing number of flies had them convinced something was seriously wrong — and they were right.

When our team at Tacoma Crawlspace Cleaning arrived, we discovered the source: a rodent infestation had left behind carcasses and maggots, which led to the fly outbreak. The attic was not only contaminated but also a health hazard.

Here’s what we did:

Rodent Removal: We located and safely removed rodent remains. Maggot and Fly Mitigation: We cleaned out all organic waste and larvae contributing to the infestation. Attic Cleaning and Sanitizing: We thoroughly sanitized the attic to eliminate bacteria and odors. Rodent Exclusion: We identified and sealed off entry points to prevent future infestations. Deodorization: We used commercial-grade products to neutralize lingering smells.

Attic rodent infestations aren’t just gross — they’re dangerous. Rodents can carry diseases, and their droppings and carcasses can affect your indoor air quality.

Tips to Prevent Attic Rodent Problems:

Regularly inspect your attic for signs of droppings, nesting, or chewed insulation. Make sure vents are screened and sealed. Trim back any tree branches near your roofline. Consider annual attic inspections from a professional.

If you suspect a rodent problem or are dealing with mysterious smells and flies in your home, give Tacoma Crawlspace Cleaning a call at 253-948-2063. We handle attic cleaning and rodent remediation the right way.
