Title: Live Rats Found in Air Ducts! Crawlspace Infestation in Virginia Beach | Universal Pest & Termite
https://universalpest.com/home-pest-control/rodent-control/
When we say Rodents Can Live Anywhere, we mean it even inside your homes air ducts! In this jaw-dropping video, the Universal Pest & Termite team uncovers live rats living deep within the air ductwork of a Virginia Beach crawlspace.
What started as strange noises and foul odors turned out to be a full-blown rodent infestation hiding where homeowners least expect it right beneath their feet.

Why This Matters
Rodents in your ductwork dont just make noise they contaminate the air you breathe, chew through wires and insulation, and create costly structural damage. Once inside, they can spread through vents, attics, and crawlspaces quickly.
Our video shows how Universal Pest & Termites team tackles this exact situation with professionalism, safety, and care. Every crawlspace we inspect is treated like our own home because you deserve clean, healthy air and a rodent-free home.

David Shafer was very professional. He came out an did a full inspection. Then we came up with a game plan to combat my pest. I set up my contract which was simple and straightforward. And I really enjoyed my experience with David. He was very informative about the pests. Thank you David for all you help!

Scott has been excellent to work with. He is professional, punctual, and thorough with each visit. He takes the time to explain what hes doing and answers any questions, which makes the process easy to understand. I really appreciate his attention to detailchecking problem areas carefully and making sure everything is treated properly. He is also respectful of our home and pets, which gives us peace of mind.

We have been a customer of Universal for at least 10+ years. They have always done a great job. There was a little hiccup with scheduling this past month, which was not normal at all. But I understand you can't always be perfect. We finally got serviced today by Jenna and she is wonderful. We have a major ant problem outside and she explained everything she was doing and watched out for our dogs and children's safety. It's so nice to have technicians that work hard and take care doing their job. Wish Jenna could be our regular technician. She's great!

My technician David Shafer exudes professionalism with a touch of warmth and compassion.
By the time I reached out to Universal Pest and Termite, I was overwhelmed and stressed beyond words (from lack of sleep) due to problems with squirrels in my walls.
Other renowned pest companies failed miserably to assist me with this ongoing squirrel issue.
David was so gentle with me. He sat me down and explained the process in a manner that gave me immediate hope. Not only did he and the amazing team seal up all the entry points, David called me as well as came back to my home to make sure those pesky rascals couldn't get back in!
My nightmare has ended and I cant thank that good smelling man -David and his team enough for bringing so much peace back to my mind and home.

This was our first time having Philip as a technician and he was a delight! From the moment he walked in, armed with a smile and a pet for my dog, he was friendly and professional. Philip was incredibly thorough, explaining each step of the service as well as his standards and remediation techniques. Its obvious that Philip cares deeply about his job and I look forward to seeing him again next quarter!

Huge shout out to Janna who serviced my home for the first time this month. She came out to perform my quarterly pest control service and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism. She was very knowledgeable and took the extra time to explain what she was doing. The service is affordable and living on the water in Hampton, quarterly PC is a must. Thanks again Janna! I hope that you are the only one they send to my home in the future.

Universal Pests only female pest inspector, Jenna, did a fantastic job! She was not only through, she explained everything to me. Any questions I had, she was happy to explain. Jenna was more than personable, which made me feel comfortable with her in my home. She was professional at all times, and even showed her personal side by loving on my large dog. Universal is lucky to have Jenna!!
