I think I had rats in my attic recently and they chewed up some of my ductwork, causing lots of problems with lost air flow out of my vents. I’ve since gotten rid of the rats, I hope, but now I am left with the mess of repairing all of the ducts where they were feasting. I think they basically ate into the duct tape on the joints and now I need to get an HVAC tech out here to repair all of the seams. I think there is enough room up there to work but there is no way that I am going to do it myself as I am claustrophobic and deathly afraid of small spaces like attics. The local business which specializes in HVAC repair and maintenance is located very close to my flat so I will just walk over and try to set up an appointment for them to come out and get me back to good again here. It is summer and my air conditioner has been running a lot to try and keep up with cooling down my flat. I know I am spending a lot of money on power bills and have the rats to thank for that. Maybe I can send them the bill. I’m sure rats have chewed through many people’s ductwork and caused the same problems with theirs so I don’t think I am alone on this. It still doesn’t change the fact that those rats have caused me a lot of problems. Next time I’ll let my cats loose in the attic.
