I searched all over the duct work for multiple hours
A lady called me because she thought that she heard noises in the air duct, however a lot of times noises in the air duct can be explained by the movement and shifting of the ducting itself, just because you hear noises in the air duct, does not mean that you have a complication with mice or rats or other indoor vermin, but my dealer handles lots of heating and air conditioning repairs and I’ve only seen infestations a few times… Each 1 of those times was a separate possibility that was even worse than the first. When I received a call from the residential customer, I knew that she was expecting me to evaluate the air duct… I took all of the items necessary to handle the job. I have a special camera at the end of a flexible stick and I use that camera to view the inside of the duct work throughout the house. It’s a fantastic way to see inside of the air duct separate from taking anything apart. I searched all over the duct work for multiple hours. I did not see any evidence of mice or rats somewhere, although I did see some evidence of droppings. It’s hard to tell if those droppings are outdated or new, so I told the owner of the condo that she should call an exterminator just to be safe if she was feeling nervous. I didn’t want to be wrong about the mice or rats, although I was pretty certain that she did not have an infestation! The noises really came from the air conditioning or creaking floorboards in the house.
