“I think this might be the biggest rat’s nest in a heater I’ve seen” – Craig

Is Your Pool Heater a Home for Pests?

Rodents, insects, and even snakes love to nest inside pool heaters and equipment areas—especially during cooler months or rainy seasons in Florida. But their presence can lead to chewed wires, clogged vents, damaged components, and costly repairs.

Here’s how to keep critters out and your pool equipment safe:

✅Keep the area clean and clear – Remove leaves, mulch, and clutter where pests like to hide.
✅Seal any gaps or access points – Check for openings around pipes or vents and seal them properly.
✅Install mesh screens or rodent guards – These simple add-ons can block access without affecting airflow.
✅Regular equipment inspections – Spot early signs of nesting or damage before it turns into a big problem.
✅Hire a professional – We check for pest-related wear and tear during every service call.

At My Pool Repairs, we’ve seen it all—from fried circuit boards to full-blown rat nests like this. Let us help protect your investment before the pests move in.
