Keep Critters Out: How Duct Cleaning Helps Prevent Pest Infestations
Your Ducts Could Be a Pest Playground
Rodents, insects, and even birds can turn your air ducts into cozy homes—often without you knowing. These infestations lead to foul odors, droppings, and even damage to your HVAC system.
At EnviroGreen Duct Cleaning, we help homeowners across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut spot and stop infestations early, protecting homes from costly pest-related damage.
Why Pests Love Air Ducts
Ducts provide the perfect environment for unwanted guests:
Warm, dark, and hidden
Rarely disturbed
Access to food crumbs and moisture
Insulation to nest in
Mice, rats, cockroaches, ants, and spiders have all been found nesting inside duct systems—especially in older or rarely serviced homes.
Risks of Pest Infestation in Ductwork
🐭 Health Hazards
Rodent droppings, urine, and fur can circulate through your home, causing:
Respiratory issues
Triggered allergies
Illnesses like hantavirus and salmonella
🪳 Structural Damage
Pests can chew through:
HVAC wiring
Duct insulation
Vent covers and flexible ducting
This leads to expensive repairs and reduced system efficiency.
How Duct Cleaning Prevents Pest Problems
1. Removes Nesting Materials
Duct cleaning vacuums out:
