If you’ve just managed to remove an un-welcomed, animal house guest from your attic, you’re probably aware that your task is far from over, you are going to need to perform insulation replacement. Not only are you going to go over every nook and cranny of your home with a magnifying glass to seal up potential entry holes, you’re also going to have to clean up after the little monster. Cleaning up has less to do with feces and urine removal as it does with getting your attic back into shape. After all, it’s likely that your insulation has been chewed, scratched, torn and, yes, even defecated on. Any duct work you have may be in need of replacing, and we’ll hope that the electrical wires have been left alone.
If wild animals have been removed from the attic of a building or residence and animal waste clean up has been accomplished, re-insulating of the attic or walls should be the final step. This will leave the attic clean and properly insulated to help control heating and cooling costs. Loose-fill, or blown-in insulation, usually made of fiberglass, rock wool, or cellulose, should be applied to the attic floor. The blown-in material will blanket the building cavities and attic floors.
Many homes were under-insulated since the time of construction. Homeowners do not spend much time in the attic so little consideration is given to this fact. After wild animals have resided in an attic for any period of time, insulation contamination and damage are common sites. Insulation will become matted with feces and excrement and compressed destroying the thermal barrier, or R value.
