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.

Begin with a Wildlife Safety Assessment

Every attic decontamination project starts with a detailed $149 Wildlife Safety Assessment and Consultation. Our licensed Wildlife Control Agents perform a safety walk-through of your attic, check joist structures, deploy thermal cameras to map soiled areas, and deliver a custom restoration proposal.
