An Attic Cleaning Service Can Help You to Tackle a Rodent Infestation
Once the colder winter months have passed, you may discover that a rodent family has made itself comfortable in your home’s attic. Or you might discover the rodents’ remains or droppings. Unfortunately, rodent feces contain bacteria that can cause respiratory and other health issues for your entire family. Here are four types of viruses or diseases associated with rat droppings.
- Rat Bite Fever (caused by eating food contaminated by infected rodents)
- Salmonellosis (caused by rodent feces contacting water or food)
- Bubonic Plague (caused by a rodent bite)
- Hantavirus (caused by inhaling infected rodent saliva, urine, and feces)
Therefore, attic cleaning is so invaluable: it will help you to remove dead rodents, traces of urine, and rodent droppings from the attic, thus protecting your house and loved ones from infectious viruses. On top of this, rodents tend to destroy your attic by leaving behind a mess of wood, paper, and insulation that have been shredded. By hiring an attic cleaning service to sanitize your attic, you guarantee that your home and the air you’re breathing will be healthier this year.
Get Rid of Cracks and Holes
Over time, general wear and wood exposure may create cracks and holes in your attic’s corners and walls. These tiny spaces allow air from the outside to enter your attic and drive up your utility bills. In the summer months, your goal is to keep your home cool and comfy. But if you’ve got cracks and holes in the attic, outside hot air will find its way into your home, while cool indoor air will escape your home. During an attic cleaning, a professional can pinpoint where air is leaking from your attic and the most appropriate method of sealing these areas.
Eliminate Dirt and Dust
As your attic’s contents remain untouched for extended periods of time, a large amount of dirt and dust can form on them. This means that both your contents and your home’s air are dirty. However, a comprehensive attic cleaning will safeguard the quality of your air in addition to keeping your attic’s items clean.
Get Rid of Mold
Moisture and water can also enter the attic through cracks and holes. If you don’t tackle this, the moisture will accumulate, condense and then serve as the perfect place for wood rot and mold to occur. An attic cleaning service can eliminate the mold to prevent it from destroying your home’s structural integrity and air quality.
Replace Contaminated Insulation
As part of your attic cleaning, a professional will replace any insulation in your attic that has become contaminated. As a result, you’ll end up with new, high-quality insulation that will help to prevent heat, moisture, and pests from entering your attic. A professional can tell you how much insulation you need, where you need it, and what type is the most appropriate for your attic space.
Create Extra Living Space
A professional attic cleaner won’t just get rid of mold, rat feces, dirt, and contaminated insulation. They’ll also help you to get rid of any physical items you no longer need. In the end, you’ll gain more space in your attic, which you can use for other valuable purposes. For instance, you could even turn your attic into an extra room with the help of a home remodeling company.
Help Other People
After removing unwanted items from your attic with the help of an attic cleaning service, there’s no need for you to throw them away. Instead, why not donate them?

Several charities may be able to benefit from your unused items, like Women’s Refugee or the Breast Cancer Foundation.
Make Extra Money
