The attic is at the top of the house, and usually the last place you think of cleaning. However, when you eventually get around to attic cleaning, you might find that the clutter you find is not all inorganic.

Why?

Attics usually have some type of insulation, either to keep heat out or in. Insulation materials are peculiarly suitable for building nests. Since most people are seldom in attics for any length of time, it can be a haven for critters and a handy repository for their droppings.

CRITTER COMFORT

You might find any number of animals getting cozy in your attic. It may be mice, rats, bats, or even squirrels. If you’re lucky, the only thing you will see is about a thousand droppings decorating your floor and all flat surfaces. Clean droppings and you should be fine, right?

Well….

If critters are living in the attic, it is almost certain that insulation is no longer intact. The best-case scenario is they have nibbled off some parts of the insulation and pulled the material off to make their nest. The worst case is they are living in the insulation itself.

What does this mean?

It means that these critters are not only pulling your insulation to shreds, making them all but useless, but also pooping and peeing in it. It makes attic cleaning a lot more complicated, and a lot more urgent. Critter droppings and urine don’t have to smell to be dangerous to your health, so you need to do something about it at once.

The good news is stripping off all the old insulation means you can be sure there are no more critters hiding up there. It gives you the chance to find any holes through which they can get in and plug it up o prevent future infestations. It also justifying insulation replacement newer and more efficient materials.

BENEFITS OF ATTIC CLEANING
