I don’t know how it got there, or even if it was there when we moved in; All I know is that when the HVAC specialist arrived to labor on the a/c unit, we were both horrified at what he found! Every one of us were so scared that both of us laughed until we were holding our sides… He said he had never seen the carcass of a dead rat before, & finding 1 inside the a/c device was so horrible that he screamed.
- He apologized & said he had never screamed love that before.
I had never screamed love that before, either, but neither of us expected to see a dead rat, in or around the a/c unit, although he had to find out where it came from, i distraught that some of the noise we heard in the HVAC duct was rats running inside it. I couldn’t figure out how the rats could get in there, the HVAC specialist told me it took a quarter sized hole for a rat to get in. He was going to look at the HVAC duct & see if there were any holes in the HVAC duct.He shook his head & said the rat wasn’t in the HVAC duct. Somehow, it had gotten into the a/c device itself. He didn’t guess the fins were large enough for it to squeeze inside, however stranger things had happened. He got rid of the remains & diagnosed the a/c unit. He said if we heard any more noises, we should call him & he would come out & do a complete inspection of the system.
