SHOCKING: Multiple Live Rats Caught Running in Virginia Beach Attic! 🐀⚠️

During a routine home inspection in the Rosemont neighborhood of Virginia Beach, our team uncovered a severe, active rat infestation. Watch as multiple live rodents scamper across the ceiling joists, chew through contaminated insulation, and create hidden entry points that put this entire home at risk.

Attic rats don't just make noise—they destroy your insulation's R-value, chew on electrical wiring (creating serious fire hazards), and leave behind harmful biological waste.
What needs to be done:

-Complete rodent removal and humane exclusion
- Identifying and sealing exterior entry points along the roofline and crawl space
- Safe extraction of contaminated attic insulation
- Full sanitization, deodorization, and re-insulation to restore home energy efficiency

If you hear scratching in your ceiling or notice unexplainable drafts and odors, don’t wait until the damage spreads. Call the local professionals who handle pest control, insulation restoration, and duct hygiene all under one roof.

Spotted in a Virginia Beach crawl space this morning! 🔎🪵

See those tiny, pin-hole punctures in the floor joists? Those are exit holes left by Powderpost Beetles.

While termites eat wood, powderpost beetles turn structural subfloor timbers into fine, flour-like sawdust (frass) from the inside out. In our humid coastal Virginia climate, damp crawl spaces create the absolute perfect breeding ground for these silent wood-destroyers.

The good news? You don't have to guess if damage is active.

Our certified inspection team identifies active infestations, assesses structural integrity, and provides complete wood-boring beetle treatments—backed by our Total Home Health Network.

🐜 Ever wonder what happens when you uncover an ant colony? 👀

This incredible video, filmed right here in Virginia Beach, captures nature in action! As soon as the colony is exposed, worker ants immediately begin carrying their eggs to safety, working together with incredible speed to protect the next generation.

Ant colonies operate like a well-organized city. Every worker ant has a job, and when danger appears, protecting the queen and developing brood becomes the colony’s top priority. It’s fascinating to watch—but if this happens inside or around your home, it can quickly become a serious pest problem.

If you’re seeing long ant trails, piles of soil, or ants appearing in your kitchen or bathrooms, the colony may be much closer than you think. Professional treatment targets the source of the infestation—not just the ants you can see.

😳🪳 We opened the wall… and found it FULL of live termites! Worker termites were actively feeding while soldier termites stood guard, protecting the colony. This is why termites are called the silent destroyers—they can cause serious damage long before you ever see them.

If you’ve noticed soft walls, bubbling paint, or swarming termites, don’t ignore the warning signs. Early detection can save you thousands in repairs! 🏠🐜

🪳 Waterbugs on Your Ceiling? It’s Probably an American Roach!

Seeing a large “waterbug” crawling across your ceiling in Hampton Roads can be alarming. In most cases, these pests are actually American cockroaches. They can grow over 2 inches long and easily climb walls and ceilings while searching for food, moisture, and shelter.

American roaches are commonly found in crawl spaces, attics, garages, kitchens, and bathrooms. Hampton Roads homes are especially vulnerable due to our humid climate and abundance of crawl spaces.

FAQ

Why are they on my ceiling?
American roaches can climb vertical surfaces and travel overhead looking for food and water.

Does seeing one mean I have an infestation?
Not always, but indoor sightings often indicate hidden activity in crawl spaces, attics, or wall voids.

Are they dangerous?
They can contaminate surfaces, spread bacteria, and trigger allergies.

How do they get inside?
Through crawl space vents, plumbing openings, garage doors, and foundation cracks.

How much does treatment cost?
Universal Pest & Termite offers pest control programs starting at just $34 per month with no long-term contracts.
