Clogged gutters can lead to a variety of issues from mosquitoes to water damaged soffits. Whether you’re in need of a simple gutter clean-out or something more permanent like our gutter guards, Wild Trappers has a solution for most gutter issues.
Protect Your Home and Surrounding Areas
Properly flowing rain gutters direct rainwater away from the foundation of your home, preventing foundation settlement problems and moisture buildup in your basements, crawl spaces, windows, and interior walls. On your home’s exterior they prevent damage to fascia, soffits, and exterior walls. Gutters don’t just protect the structure of your home, they also protect the surrounding driveways, patios, sidewalks, and walkways from soil erosion by properly directing water away from these areas.
Eliminate Pest Habitats
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water (frequently found in flowerpots, kiddie pools, birdbaths, etc), where the hatched larvae will live and mature into adult mosquitoes. Homeowners can quickly dump and/or refresh this water to reduce the occurrence of mosquitoes, but one area that is constantly overlooked is a home’s gutters. Rotting leaves, branches, and debris clog up a home’s gutters, causing standing water to accumulate and creating an ideal habitat for cockroaches, ants, gnats, flies, spiders, worms, termites, and disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Protect Your Family from Diseases
Mosquitoes are definitely annoying, but they are also a public health risk. According to the Department of Public Health Prevention & Control, mosquitoes are considered to be one of the most dangerous creatures on earth, killing between 2 to 3 million people and infecting another 200 million with malaria every year. While malaria is rare in the United States, it does still occur on a rare occasion. In addition to malaria, mosquitoes are carriers for other deadly diseases including the West Nile and Zika viruses, meningitis, and various forms of encephalitis.
