Keeping Your Home Critter-Free: The Protective Power of a Sealed Crawl Space
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! If you’re a homeowner, it’s more like possums, rats and bats, oh my!
Ever had the sinking feeling that comes with hearing strange noises coming from under your house? It’ll strike fear in your heart- and panic in your mind- when you realize you might have unwanted guests living in your crawl space. Left unprotected, the area beneath your home can become a haven for critters of all shapes and sizes, from rats and mice to snakes and insects. These animals can wreak havoc on your home’s foundation, insulation, and wiring, not to mention vermin’s’ potential to spread diseases. But fear not, homeowner! LiveGreen offers a simple, effective solution to keeping these pests out: sealing your crawl space.

Pest control experts say crawl spaces are inherently attractive to animals because they offer shelter, easy access to water sources (like standing water or leaky pipes), and relatively cozy nesting sites. Additionally, crawl spaces are often poorly ventilated and damp, creating a perfect environment for mold growth, which can attract even more pests like termites and roaches.
So how does sealing your crawl space help? Here are just some benefits of a sealed crawlspace from LiveGreen:
- Moisture Control: A sealed crawl space is a dry crawl space. By eliminating moisture through vapor barriers and encapsulation techniques (which essentially involve lining the crawl space walls and floor with a heavy-duty plastic sheet), you’re making your crawl space a much less hospitable environment for moisture-loving pests.
- Rodent Deterrence: Rodents like mice and rats need to feel safe and secure when building their nests. When LiveGreen seals up any cracks or holes in your crawl space foundation, we eliminate easy access points for pests, and discourages them from making your home theirs.
- Overall Pest Prevention: A sealed crawl space isn’t just about keeping out furry foes. Sealing also helps to prevent insects and other pests from entering and settling up house under your home by eliminating entry points and hiding spots.
