My mom and dad had a home fire when mice chewed through the electrical wiring in the attic.
The insurance business said there was still knob and tube wiring in the attic, and that was why it caught fire so hastily when the mice chewed through.
It was a fire waiting to happen. I always worry about electrical fires, however I didn’t believe that when my cooling system quit toiling. I was anxious I needed a new a/c unit. I had to wait a couple of mornings before the heating as well as the A/C serviceman arrived. When he got there, I told him the A/C component was toiling and five minutes later, it wasn’t. He also looked confused, and he headed outside. My hubby was outside with him, however I could not hear what was being said. I saw the heating as well as the A/C serviceman point to something, and my hubby leaned. I could hear him whistle. He had his iphone out to make an iphone call, however apparently he could not find what he wanted. He also came into the home and told me to call an exterminator. We had mice and they chewed through the wiring in the a/c unit. We lived in the country so mice were normal, however I thought we had them under control. When the exterminator showed up, he told us we had at least a hundred mice, and it took him two weeks to eliminate them from the house. If there were that many mice, I would have thought I would have seen some trace of them, however if they were outside, he was going to get rid of all of them. He told me he put some chemicals around the home that wouldn’t hurt pets, however would keep mice away.
