Default Attic rodents

Has anyone been told there has been a lot of rodent activity lately in attics? Bats, palm mice etc.

Palm rats will get into your attic. Don't let trees and bushes get too close to the roof line.

I think there was a recent post about a contractor going around door to door and saying that (to get into your house for business). Is that your case?

Oddly, a Massey guy did ask to look into our attic this morning but I told him No as I could do it myself. I did. No sign of rat or any other kind of droppings nor anything else up there than what I have put up there over the last 20 years or so.


They were doing the lawn spraying.

We had rodents in the attic that chewed holes in our ductwork. Repairs were just over ten thousand dollars. We chose to fix the roof vents where they were coming in and replace all the ductwork in the house as it was a mess.the house is new to us but over twenty years old in Spanish Springs.
