Attic insulation helps your home maintain temperature and efficiency during the cold and hot months. When wildlife enters into the attic, several things occur. The animals will walk on the insulation causing it to pack down and lose its insulative value (also known as an R-value). Animals will soil the insulation with urine and feces which causes human exposure to bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Also, the ecto-parasites living on the animal can lay eggs, multiply and cause an infestation in the home (fleas,mites,ticks and bat bugs primarily). Soiled insulation must be removed, all surfaces must be chemically sanitized and treated for ecto-parasites and then the new insulation can be replaced. The professionals at Exclusive Wildlife and Pest Control can handle all of these tasks. Call today for an attic remediation consultation.
