The Importance of Attic Restoration After a Wildlife Infestation

Once wildlife has been removed from your attic, many homeowners assume the problem is solved — but what’s left behind can be just as serious as the animals themselves.

Wildlife-contaminated attics contain:

  • Urine

  • Feces

  • Nesting material

  • Parasites

  • Bacteria

  • Pheromone trails that attract more animals

Rodents, bats, squirrels, and raccoons can cause significant damage to insulation and leave contamination that impacts air quality.

Why Attic Restoration Matters:

1. Health & Safety

Rodent droppings, raccoon feces, and bat guano can carry dangerous pathogens. Disturbing contaminated insulation releases particles into your home’s air.

2. Eliminates Odor

Odors from waste can linger for months. Proper cleaning and deodorization remove the smell at its source.

3. Restores Energy Efficiency

Flattened or soiled insulation loses its effectiveness, causing higher energy bills. Fresh insulation restores proper R-values.

4. Prevents Reinfestation

Animals return to familiar scents. Cleaning and sanitizing the attic removes pheromone markers that would attract new wildlife.

At 10-Eleven, our attic restoration services ensure that once the animals are gone, your home is clean, safe, and protected.
