It started, like every job here, with a free inspection — and this one turned up more than expected. Severe rodent activity had run through this Saratoga attic and crawl space. Also in scope: an exterior inspection with photos.

The challenge
Severe rodent activity through the attic and crawl space
The inspection found severe rodent activity in this Saratoga attic and crawl space — droppings, nests and contaminated material across the space, with open gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents that rodents were using to come and go.
A crawl space carries the same problem as an attic and gets looked at half as often — it was brought into the same scope of work.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Clean and sanitize
Rodent waste, droppings and nesting material vacuumed out, then the surfaces treated with OdoBan sanitation to clear odor, bacteria and the scent trails that draw rodents back.
Seal and rodent-proof
Entry points sealed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, with two to four indicator traps set to confirm the space stays clear.
The result
A cleared and sealed attic and crawl space
The attic and crawl space was cleaned, sanitized and closed against re-entry, with 2-4 indicator traps left to confirm it stays that way.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic and crawl space work in Saratoga, answered
What does rodent proofing include in Saratoga?
Rodent proofing is exclusion work: sealing the gaps and openings rodents use to get in, with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, then setting two to four indicator traps to confirm the space stays clear. Live removal, where it is needed, is handled by a licensed pest control provider. Atticare USA has written up how Atticare USA seals entry points and the 5-step restoration process that follows. Worth reading before you compare quotes: how to compare rodent-proofing warranties.
Why does the crawl space matter as much as the attic?
A crawl space sits under the living space and shares its air, so contamination and open entry points down there reach the rooms above just as attic problems do — and it gets inspected far less often. The sequence matters as much as the work: why the order matters in a crawl space.
Does Atticare USA offer free attic inspections in Saratoga, CA?
Yes. Atticare USA offers free attic and crawl space inspections across Saratoga and the surrounding Bay Area, and books them by phone.
