Most homeowners aren’t too excited about going into their crawl spaces.  Who knows what’s lurking in that dark, mysterious area under your house? It reminds us of an Andy Griffith Show where Barney and Gomer were trying to rebuild a bandstand for a Sunday concert in Mayberry.  Barney directed Gomer into the crawl space to shore up the leaning stand.   “But there might be spiders under there,” an apprehensive Gomer complained.  After failing to convince Gomer that the crawl space was spider-free, a flustered Barney ordered him to “quit your worrying, Gomer, and get down there with them spiders.”

National Exterminators has uncovered some pretty strange things in home crawl spaces.  We’ve encountered snakes, opossum, raccoons, squirrels and even bats.  Sometimes, while checking for termites and varmints, our men found mechanical problems.  Recently our termite detector, Amos Matney, discovered faulty duct work in a crawl space.  In essence, the heat was wasted being pumped into the cold crawl space, running up the homeowners heating bill.

Call National Exterminators today for an inspection.   You never know what’s going on in your crawl space!!!
