Mice droppings can pose a number of health concerns, including the spread of diseases and viruses, like the Hantavirus. Additionally, once the droppings dry out and the spores enter the air, breathing them in can cause serious chronic respiratory problems.
We even found several wires that were chewed up by the flying squirrels.
As we inspected the crawl space, we found more mice feces scattered throughout the area and also noticed several crawl space vents. To the homeowner, they appeared to sealed off properly, but in reality, they still had several openings the width of pencil in them. That may seem too small, but it's just the right size for mice to squeeze through!
We found a ton of raccoon feces throughout the insulation.
As we inspected the crawl space, we discovered that several of the floor joists and the support beams were destroyed by termites. We also found several termite mud tubes throughout the crawl space. Mud tubes are made by the worker termites. Their purpose is to protect the termites from the exterior elements when traveling from their colony to a food source.
As we inspected the restaurant, we noticed that almost every single one of the floor drains were clogged, overflowing with water & debris, and full of drain flies and their larvae! Drain flies are small, dark-winged, non-biting gnats that thrive in drains because of the fats, oils, and greases that go down every drain. The drain flies use this buildup as a food source, breeding ground, and habitat all in one. As long as there are fats, oils, and greases in the drain, drain flies will continue multiplying.
As we inspected the attic, we found so many mice droppings throughout the area. Additionally, almost every single piece of insulation was loaded with mice feces and their urine.
The mice were squeezing through this crawl space vent that was completely exposed.
