Post-Rodent Infestation Attic Cleaning
Infestation Clean Up & Prevention
Make Sure to Rodent Proof Your Attic
Because attics are most often the least used room in the house, it is a haven for rodents who don’t like to be seen. In addition to the secrecy of the location, the attic has a lot of insulating material that can keep rodents warm preventing hypothermia.
Homeowners might see droppings in and around the kitchen area, but droppings in attics are less likely to be noticed. The longer an infestation is left untreated the faster it worsens, which can create further health consequences for the family as well as an increased financial cost to remedy the rodent infestation.
Attics Benefit Rodents
Insulation in the attic keeps the house warm for humans as well as rodents. Rodents find the insulation a perfect place to build their nests for their numerous babies, about 32-84 each litter, every 4 to 6 weeks. However, rodents don’t just sleep in the attic. This insulating material also absorbs anything, meaning any urine or wet feces, which can create mold and mildew besides the bacteria and parasites.
An even greater concern for rodent exclusion experts is that with their droppings, the rodent scent is absorbed into the house, which acts like an invitation to other rodents to move in. This odor might be a calling card for them, but awful for homeowners as it will linger until the rodent infestation is managed thoroughly.
