Attic Clean Up
Do you have attic rats, birds or squirrels? If so, your problem is more complex than you think
When rats, mice, birds or squirrels have invaded your attic or crawlspace, it will never be the same again. Their droppings and urine are known to transmit a number of diseases, including Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, Salmonellosis and in the case of deer mice, Hantavirus. Illness can occur from breathing in airborne fungal spores originating in the fecal matter of these pests. The odour that these animals leave in your attic or crawlspace will attract new pests, such as fleas and mites. Many people, especially children, are susceptible to allergens from the soiled insulation which can trigger asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

CARE Pest to the rescue!
Care Pest & Wildlife Control’s environmental clean-out team will provide you with a written quotation for your attic cleanup, which includes treating the infected space with an anti-bacterial virucide spray. This spray kills all germs in the area. Then, we use a HEPA vacuum to remove all the droppings and infected insulation, replacing it with new fibreglass bat or blown insulation. HEPA vacuums are essential to contain harmful contaminants left by attic rats or wildlife. Conventional vacuum treatment makes your problem worse by spreading potentially dangerous waste particles throughout your attic. CARE Pest ensures complete pest control management, fully-cleaning your environment and sealing off all possible entry points. Contact CARE Pest today for a free quote on pest control inspection.
The role of insulation
 |
 |
CARE Pest can lay new insulation in your attic. Many homes do not have the recommended R value of insulation. The adequate thickness of proper, unsoiled insulation can help decrease heating costs in the winter and keep your home cool in the summer. If you’re thinking of selling your home or just increasing its value, investing in a properly insulated, clean attic and crawlspace becomes a great selling feature.
