Why AC Chase Gaps Are a Problem
- Perfect Size – Rats and mice don’t need much space. Half an inch is plenty.
- Hidden From View – Most of these gaps are low to the ground or tucked behind bushes, so homeowners never notice them.
- Direct Access – That gap doesn’t just lead into a wall cavity — it often opens straight into your attic.
What Animals Do Once They’re In
We’ve seen it all from AC line gaps:
- Rodents chewing insulation off the line itself
- Droppings and urine piled up in wall cavities
- Scratching noises that seem to come “from nowhere”
- Damage spreading into the attic once they find their way up
Why Foam Doesn’t Work
A lot of companies (and DIYers) just pack these holes with spray foam. Problem is, rodents chew through foam like it’s dessert. We see failed foam jobs every single week.
How We Seal It for Good
At Homeland Wildlife & Pest Control, AC chases are always on our inspection list. Here’s how we handle them:
- Find Every Gap – Even the ones hidden behind bushes or landscaping.
- Chew-Proof Materials – We don’t use foam. We use material that teeth and claws can’t get through.
Don’t Wait Until You Hear Scratching
By the time you hear noises in the attic, critters have already been inside for a while. A free inspection now can save you damage, stress, and money later.
