Holiday stories and poems often feature cute little mice all settled down for a long winter’s nap. That’s great in fairytales but not so great when they choose your attic for their nice warm dry place to sleep. Because let’s face it, nobody wants rodents in their house. This is the time of year that critters of all kinds are looking for a safe place to have their babies – why not your attic?
Depending on the type of critter that comes into your home, your insurance may cover a full attic restoration. Raccoons are famous for finding a safe habitat for their young. Our techs often find their droppings and that’s usually enough to get at least some coverage for damages incurred and replacement of insulation.
The First Step Is Rodent Removal
For a full attic restoration, the first step is humanely removing/relocating the critter or critters, if still there. Once the critters have been evacuated, our techs search for entry/access points and seal them off to prevent critters from visiting in the future. Then, we remove any existing insulation that has been affected. Next, the attic is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with DSV (disinfectant/sanitizer/virucide) to remove bacteria and viruses as well as any habitat odors that could entice future visitors. Lastly, our techs blow in TAP insulation. TAP stands for Thermal Acoustical, Pest Resistant – which means your heating and cooling bills will decrease, you won’t hear nearly as much airplane or outside traffic noise and it resists pests like ants, roaches, and silverfish.
