Rodents are more than just an inconvenience — they pose a serious threat to your home, your belongings, and most importantly, your health. Mice and rats are known to carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can contaminate the air and surfaces within your home. Once they’ve invaded your attic or crawl space, the damage can be extensive and dangerous if not properly addressed.
That’s where professional help makes all the difference. At Attic Pros, we understand how crucial it is to restore your living space to a clean, safe condition after a rodent infestation. That’s why we offer comprehensive rodent clean up services designed to remove all traces of contamination and prevent future problems.
The Hidden Dangers of Rodent Infestations
Rodents are notorious for nesting in attics, basements, and crawl spaces where they can go undetected for weeks or even months. During that time, they can leave behind:
Urine and droppings that carry dangerous pathogens
Chewed wires that pose fire hazards
Torn insulation that reduces energy efficiency
Strong, unpleasant odors that permeate your home
These are not just nuisances — they’re real threats that can affect your indoor air quality and family’s well-being. Diseases such as Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis can spread through contact with rodent waste or even the dust stirred up by it.
Why DIY Cleanup Isn’t Enough
It may be tempting to clean up the mess yourself with a few gloves, disinfectant, and trash bags. But rodent contamination is a biohazard, and improper handling can make things worse. Without proper protective gear and professional-grade sanitizing equipment, you could expose yourself and your household to harmful bacteria and allergens.
DIY efforts also often miss hidden nesting sites or damage that’s not immediately visible. This could lead to recurring infestations or ongoing odors that never quite go away.
What Does Professional Rodent Cleanup Involve?
When you call in a professional team like Attic Pros, the cleanup goes far beyond surface-level dusting or vacuuming. Our approach is thorough, targeted, and designed with your safety in mind. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of the affected areas to identify all signs of contamination, entry points, and potential damage. This includes looking for droppings, nesting materials, chewed wiring, and ruined insulation.
2. Safe Removal of Waste and Debris
All contaminated materials, including droppings, urine-soaked insulation, and nesting debris, are safely removed using protective gear and proper disposal methods. This ensures your home is not exposed to airborne contaminants during the process.
3. Deep Cleaning and Sanitization
After removing physical waste, we sanitize every affected surface using eco-friendly disinfectants that eliminate bacteria and neutralize odors. This step is essential for restoring clean, breathable air in your home.
4. Insulation Replacement
Rodents often shred and contaminate attic or crawl space insulation. If necessary, we remove damaged insulation and replace it with new, energy-efficient material that helps regulate your home’s temperature and lower utility bills.
5. Rodent-Proofing and Prevention
No cleanup is complete without addressing the root cause. We seal all access points — cracks, holes, vents — to prevent rodents from re-entering. We also offer recommendations on how to keep your home rodent-free year-round.
