If wildlife has inhabited the attic of your home or building, attic restoration is an important part of a complete wildlife control solution. Attic restoration basically means restoring your attic to the good, clean condition it was in before wildlife decided to move in and make a mess of things. Animals in attics can cause the following problems:
- Lots of poop and urine in the insulation
- Nesting material and food debris through the attic
- Odor problems inside the home
- Growth of mold on contaminated attic areas
- Parasites, roundworm, and other pathogens
- Pheromone scent that can attract new wildlife
So it’s important to address these problems by cleaning, decontaminating, and restoring the attic to its original state. This is done through several steps. The proper training and equipment is required, such as a HEPA filter mask and biohazard suit, as seen to the right.
Attic restoration can be quick and cheap, or intensive and expensive, depending on the amount that needs to be cleaned. Homeowner’s insurance may cover the cost.
