Patriot Attic Recovery — Expert Rat & Animal Removal, Cleanup, and Restoration in San Diego
It usually begins the same way. A scratching sound above the ceiling at 2 AM. A faint thumping when the house goes quiet. Then comes the smell a sour, ammonia-like odor that hits you the moment you walk into a certain room. And one day, the truth hits: there are animals in the attic, and they’ve been living there longer than you’d like to admit.
If you’re hearing noises in the attic, noticing that your attic smells, or have already spotted droppings, chewed wires, or stained ceilings you don’t need a pest control company. You need attic recovery specialists. You need Patriot Attic Recovery.
We’re a locally owned San Diego business with one mission: restoring attics destroyed by rats, raccoons, squirrels, mice, and other wildlife. We don’t sell pest control packages. We don’t push HVAC services. We do one thing and we do it better than anyone else in San Diego.
