Mice and Bugs May Proliferate

Another reason you don’t want mold, mildew, or rotted wood is that it pulls in insects. Bugs love to eat mold and rotting wood, and the moisture provides an easy way for them to drink.

If you’re dealing with bugs, you’ll probably find that you soon start dealing with mice. Rodents eat bugs, and they can also come in through your foundation vents, even if you’ve tried to learn how to install foundation vent covers.

Soon, you’ll find there are plenty of little creatures down in your crawl space. Before you know it, these creatures can be making a serious impact on your home’s stability and foundational strength.
