Attic Decontamination & Restoration

When raccoons, squirrels, or bats occupy an attic space, they leave behind significant hazards, including parasite-filled feces, highly acidic urine, and soiled nesting materials. Even after animals have been safely evicted, their leftover scent trails continue to attract neighboring wildlife. Go On, Git! provides deep-cleaning sanitization and complete insulation restoration to ensure your attic is safe, clean, and fresh.

The Hazards of Wildlife Waste

Leaving animal waste inside an attic presents serious long-term risks to your home’s air quality and structure:

  • Histoplasmosis (Bats): Bat guano contains microscopic fungal spores that can cause severe respiratory infections if they become airborne and enter your HVAC system.
  • Roundworm Parasites (Raccoons): Raccoons establish “latrines” inside attics. Their feces host roundworm eggs that remain infectious for years in soil and wood.
  • Pheromone Attraction Paths: Leftover nest odors serve as a chemical lighthouse. If not neutralized, neighboring rodents will detect the scent and chew new entry holes to access the space.
  • Damaged R-Value Insulation: Compressed, urine-soaked insulation loses its efficiency, leading to higher monthly heating and cooling bills.

Our Step-by-Step Restoration Protocol

We systematically restore your attic’s sanitation and efficiency using professional remediation equipment:

  1. Wet-Misting Biocide Treatment: Before touching any dry debris, we mist the entire attic with a biological sanitizer. This binds the dust and fungal spores, keeping them from floating into your home’s air currents.
  2. Safe Waste Removal: Using high-powered negative-air vacuums equipped with HEPA filtration, our team collects all soiled materials, droppings, and insulation directly into a waste containment truck outside.
  3. Bio-Enzymatic Scent Eraser: We spray all exposed wooden trusses and joists with a bio-enzymatic deodorizer. This breaks down organic proteins, permanently neutralizing odors and erasing animal pheromone trails.
  4. Insulation Re-Blowing: We blow in premium, pest-resistant cellulose or fiberglass insulation to restore your home’s R-value efficiency.

INSURANCE & VALUES

HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE

Many homeowners policies cover attic restoration and insulation replacement if the damage is caused by nesting raccoons or bats. We document our cleanups with detailed photographic reports to help you coordinate with your adjuster.

HEPA PROTECTION

Our technicians use complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and HEPA-filtered negative air machines, guaranteeing that your family is fully protected from pathogens during the entire restoration process.

Does homeowners insurance cover attic cleanup?

Often, yes, when the damage traces back to nesting wildlife. We document every cleanup with detailed photographic reports specifically so you have what you need to work with your adjuster.

How long does a full attic restoration take?

It depends on the size of the space and how much contamination is present. We’ll give you a specific timeline as part of your assessment rather than a generic estimate that may not fit your situation.

Begin with a Wildlife Safety Assessment

Every project starts with a detailed $149 Wildlife Safety Assessment and Consultation. Our licensed Wildlife Control Agents perform a safety walk-through of your property, deploy thermal imaging to check nesting spaces, and deliver a custom structural sealing proposal. The $149 fee is credited 100% back toward your exclusion service.
