That’s when he found the mice
It can be really hard as a parent when your child is scared out of their mind & there seems to be nothing you can do about it. This is what my buddy and I were going through for the past six months with my poor daughter, who was absolutely terrified to sleep in our up-to-date house. I should say, the household itself is quite old, however my buddy and I just moved in a few months ago. The entire time that we’ve lived here, our child has been unable to get restful sleep at night because she says she hears different sounds coming from her walls, oftentimes, she ends up in our home office crying in the middle of the night about ghosts & goblins. I never wanted to feel that she was having night terrors, however my buddy and I did not have another explanation… at least until our last Heating, Ventilation, & A/C appointment. When my buddy and I moved in, the heating & cooling system had recently been checked & upgraded so my buddy and I were confident in the cleanliness & quality of our indoor air. At first, our energy costs were harshly low & my buddy and I had no problems with the air quality throughout the house. Over time, however, the air quality started to decrease & our energy costs were rapidly increasing. I called the nearest heating & cooling contractor & arranged a professional Heating, Ventilation, & A/C diagnostics appointment. The Heating, Ventilation, & A/C specialist who arrived was undoubtedly know-howable & patient, & he did a undoubtedly thorough inspection of our heating system & air conditioner unit. Both air handling appliances appeared to be in superb working order to him, so he took a look at the ductworks as a final measure. That’s when he found the mice. Apparently, the air quality control appliances had been upgraded, however the ductworks had absolutely never been cleaned. This whole time, my child was being terrorized by the sounds of mice in her ductwork & the ghosts of lying realtors.
