Why is a dirty attic such a big problem?
When rats, mice, or other animals live in your attic, they leave a mess behind. They pack it with droppings, urine, and old nests. That waste soaks into your insulation and never really dries out.
The mess does more than smell bad. It can carry germs that make people sick. It also draws fleas, mites, and roaches that come looking for the leftovers.
Here in Bakersfield and across Kern County, attics get hot and stay hot. That heat bakes the waste and pushes the bad air down into the rooms below. Cleaning it out is the only way to fix it for good.
What are the signs your attic needs cleanup?
Most attic damage starts small and runs for years before anyone looks up there. Here is what tells you it is time for a cleanup. If you notice any of these, call us for a free check.
- A musty or sharp smell coming from the ceiling or vents
- Droppings or dark stains in the insulation
- Flattened or torn up insulation that lost its fluff
- Scratching or scurrying sounds at night
- Chewed wires, ductwork, or wood beams
- More dust, fleas, or roaches showing up in the home
How does ExcludeTech clean up an attic?
We do more than sweep up a few droppings. We take the attic down to bare and build it back the right way. Here is how it works, step by step.
- Free inspection. We climb up and check the whole attic. We find the mess, the damage, and how the animals got in.
- Remove the mess. We pull out all the ruined insulation, old nests, droppings, and debris until the attic is completely bare.
- Sanitize. We fog the space to kill fleas, mites, parasites, and roaches living up there, then clean the contaminated spots.
- Seal entry points. We close the holes and gaps the animals used so nothing moves back in.
- Re-insulate. We install brand new Cellulose Pest Proofing insulation to at least an R-38 value. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
What insulation do you put back in?
Once your attic is bare and clean, our crew installs brand new Cellulose Pest Proofing insulation. We bring it up to at least an R-38 value so your home stays comfortable.
Cleanup works best when the pests are gone for good and the rest of your home is sealed too. These services often go hand in hand:
- Rodent removal before the attic work starts
- Sealing every gap so the mess does not come back
- Fresh insulation that keeps heat and cold in check
