Maybe you’ve seen a rat scurrying along in your house, and maybe you 
haven’t. But those rat droppings in the attic didn’t come out of thin air. Whether or not you still have rodents in your house, what the rat or rats leave behind needs to be dealt with.
The Dangers of Rat Droppings in Your Attic
You may think it is no big deal to leave the rat pellets in your attic insulation. After all, you can’t even smell them. Before you choose to ignore the feces, consider a few potential problems that rat droppings can cause:
- Leakage into nearby walls and ceiling, causing disgusting smells and damage
- Insulation damage
- The attraction of more rodents to your house
Of course, a larger rat infestation can do more damage than a single rat. They could tear up insulation to make nests and leave behind more feces and urine. In some cases, you will need to replace all of your attic’s insulation and do a thorough clean-up job to sanitize the area.
Rat Feces Clean Up and Disinfection
In the case of rat droppings in attic insulation, cleaning the mess immediately is not the best option. To be most efficient, we will extricate all rats from your house and rat-proof it to make sure they can’t find a way in.
Then, depending on the severity of your rat invasion, we will determine whether you can just get rid of the soiled portions or if it is better to replace the attic insulation entirely.
