Get 'Em Before They Get In!
Cold air, humidity, bugs, mice, rats, and even snakes can make their way in through an unsealed or open crawlspace door to under your home.
One of the most important things that you can do for your home health is to ensure that your crawlspace is sealed, secure, and kept dry. High moisture levels and wet crawlspace areas will cause favorable conditions for several types of pest such as termites, ants, carpenter ants, crickets, spiders, millipedes, and centipedes. Mice and rats will enter easily through open and unsealed crawlspace areas. Snakes can also enter through any openings into the crawlspace. Once their entrance is gained, mice and other pests will make their way to the inside of the home through piping/plumbing, ductwork and dryer vents. Mice and rats will also use insulation for nesting purposes and cause damage to the insulation, as well as wiring and wood areas. Securing and sealing of the crawlspace will help to keep these pests from entering.
Unsealed and missing crawlspace doors, as well as improper venting and standing water, will create high humidity levels under the home. This moisture, unfortunately, affects the indoor home air quality that you and your family breathe, as well as causes mold growth under the home. Also, a properly installed crawlspace door can potentially save money with home heating costs by closing off cold airflow under the home.
