Why Sanitation Is Critical

Rodent Contamination Is a Health Hazard

Rodents leave behind far more than droppings. Their urine, feces, nesting materials, and carcasses contaminate attic insulation and can harbor dangerous pathogens including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. These contaminants can become airborne and circulate through your HVAC system into your living spaces.

Simply removing the rodents is not enough. Contaminated insulation must be removed and replaced, and all surfaces must be treated with hospital-grade disinfectants before new insulation is installed.

  • Removal of all rodent droppings, urine, and nesting materials
  • Contaminated insulation removal and disposal
  • Hospital-grade disinfectant fogging of all attic surfaces

Health Risks of Rodent Contamination

  • Hantavirus — spread through dried rodent urine and droppings
  • Salmonella — from rodent feces contaminating surfaces
  • Leptospirosis — bacterial infection from rodent urine
  • Rat-bite fever — even without direct contact
  • Airborne allergens from dried rodent waste
  • Secondary pest infestations (fleas, mites from rodents)

Our Process

Attic Sanitation Step by Step

1

Attic Inspection

We assess the extent of contamination, identify all affected areas, and document findings for your records.

2

Insulation Removal

All contaminated insulation is carefully removed and disposed of in sealed bags per health and safety guidelines.

3

Disinfection & Deodorization

We apply hospital-grade disinfectant to all attic surfaces and use odor-eliminating treatments to neutralize rodent scent trails.

4

Insulation Replacement

We install new TAP pest control insulation, which provides both thermal performance and ongoing pest deterrence.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need attic sanitation if the rodents are gone?

Yes. The contamination left behind — droppings, urine, nesting materials — remains a health hazard even after rodents are removed. It can also attract new rodents due to scent trails.

How do I know if my attic insulation is contaminated?

Signs include visible droppings in the attic, a strong ammonia odor, stained or compressed insulation, and nesting materials. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to assess contamination.

Can I clean the attic myself?

We strongly advise against it. Disturbing dried rodent waste releases airborne particles that can cause serious illness. Professional remediation with proper PPE and containment procedures is the safe approach.

What type of insulation do you install after sanitation?

We install TAP (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control) insulation, which is treated with borate — a natural pest deterrent that kills insects that come into contact with it while remaining safe for humans and pets.
