🐭➡️🏠 From Rodent Contaminated to Restored

This attic had a history of mouse activity, leaving behind contaminated insulation, droppings, urine, and nesting materials.

Our team completed a full attic restoration by:

✅ Removing contaminated insulation

✅ Removing rodent debris and nesting materials

✅ Sanitizing the attic

✅ Installing 14 inches of new borate treated insulation

The new insulation helps improve energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and provides added resistance to mold and many attic dwelling insects.

The difference is more than what you can see. This home now has a cleaner, healthier attic space and insulation designed to perform for years to come.

If you've had rodents in your attic, removing the mice is only part of the solution. The contamination they leave behind often remains long after they're gone.

Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage every year across the United States, and most infestations remain hidden for 3 to 5 years before they are discovered.

Termites cause about $4 worth of damage per day to an untreated home.That may not sound like much until you do the math:

💲 $4 per day = $120 per month
💲 $4 per day = $1,460 per year
💲 Over 5 years = $7,300 in potential damage
And that's just an average estimate.

Severe infestations can result in repair costs reaching tens of thousands of dollars depending on how long termites have been feeding and what structural components are affected.
One of the biggest reasons termites are so destructive is because they're incredibly difficult to detect. They work behind walls, beneath floors, and inside crawl spaces where homeowners rarely look. In many cases, an infestation has been active for years before visible signs appear.

Some of the most common termite conducive conditions include:

🌳 Mulch piled against the foundation
💧 Excess moisture in crawl spaces
🪵 Wood to ground contact
🍂 Firewood and wood debris stored near the home
🏠 Poor drainage around the foundation

There is an old saying in our industry:
"There are two types of homes: those with termites and those that don't have termites yet."

While not every home has termites today, every home containing wood is a potential target.
The good news? Regular inspections, moisture control, and preventative termite protection can help keep your home off the menu.

🌷 We're waiting for warmer weather...

🐜 But so are they.

Have you noticed insects showing up one day and disappearing the next?

You're not imagining it.

The constant swings between warm and cool temperatures we've experienced recently can make insect activity unpredictable. Ants, spiders, termites, and other insects often become active during warm spells, only to slow down again when temperatures drop.

The important thing to remember is that they're not gone. They're simply waiting for consistently warmer weather.

Once temperatures stabilize, insect activity can increase quickly as they begin searching for food, water, and places to nest.

🕷️ Spiders

🪳 Roaches

🚨 Bald Faced Hornets have been RAMPANT this year! 🚨

This nest was active and packed with developing hornets. Bald faced hornets may look intimidating because they ARE. These aggressive aerial defenders can sting multiple times and will aggressively protect their nest if disturbed.

We’ve been seeing a major increase in calls this season across Williamsburg and Hampton Roads. Nests are showing up in:
• Trees
• Bushes
• Rooflines
• Playsets
• Sheds
• Even low hanging areas near entryways

If you notice increased hornet activity around your home, do not attempt to knock the nest down yourself. One vibration can trigger the entire colony.

At Swan Pest Control, we safely remove nests and help protect your home and family from dangerous stings.

Give us a call if you spot one before it becomes a bigger problem.
