If you don’t want to make your air conditioner a shelter for the rats, then you should keep the unit safe from them. Do you know that a mouse can enter into any part of your air-conditioning system and can harm it? Yes, it is true and this is a serious problem because it can cause the breakdown of your air conditioner. Not only for your cooling system, but it is harmful to the health of the human beings too. You don't need to be worried because the professionals of the AC Repair Doral can rectify the bugs immediately.

We know that it is impossible to inspect the cooling system on daily basis, and that is why the rodents easily enter into the AC system. But you can protect your unit from such animals with the help of the professionals of the HVAC Repair Services. That is why you should know such symptoms which show that the air conditioner is being infected by a mouse or a rat.

You Will Hear the Pitter-Patter Sound: If any kind of sound is coming out of your air conditioner in the night, then it is possible that one or more mice are living in your AC unit and now, you should rectify this problem.

Bad Odors in the Air-Conditioned Room: If a rat or a mouse enters into the air conditioner and dies there, then it will not create any type of sound. In this case, your nose can help you to know that a dead rodent is present in your AC unit because the conditioned room will soon start to smell bad.

Usually, we advise that this problem should be resolved only by the professionals of the AC Repair Doral, but if you want to do it yourself, then you should follow the following process.

The rubber gloves, a plastic bag, disinfectant spray and paper towels will be needed to solve this problem and if the animal is out of your reach, then other tools will also be needed to reach it. First of all, deposit that dead animal in the plastic bag with the help of the rubber gloves, and then take it away from your home. You should be aware of the policies for the disposal of the dead animals. After that, clean that area with the disinfectant spray where the carcass was located. Remember that a minor mistake can make your family member sick.
