When wildlife like bats, raccoons, rats, mice and squirrels get into your attic, they contaminate insulation with urine, feces, shed fur, parasites and other insulation contaminants.
Unless removed, these disease-causing insulation contaminants will remain in your home’s insulation, creating an unhealthful condition. Disease-causing organisms associated with animal wastes can get into the living area of your home by moving with the air currents, or they can be pumped throughout your home if it has hot-air heat or central air conditioning. Visit our Attic Restoration Page for more information on how we handle this mess!
Not only does this create an unhealthy situation, but the odors left behind from animal wastes and other by-products can attract other animals and insect pests into your attic.
Raccoon Droppings in Attic Insulation
Centerville, Ohio
That’s why an animal removal job sometimes includes removing and replacing any contaminated insulation. If animals have been in your attic for a length of time, the chances are that they’ve made a real mess of your insulation, and it most likely will need to be replaced.
Barnes Wildlife Removal offers full or partial attic insulation removal as part of our animal control work. We can’t remove the contamination without removing some of the contaminated insulation; and after we remove it, you’ll need to have it replaced. Having us do the work while we’re on-site can save you time and money.

Barnes can re-insulate your attic using the finest quality materials, installed at or above all codes and industry standards, and at competitive rates. We carry all necessary insurance and are fully licensed for this work, and we promise you the finest level of quality available anywhere.
Getting contaminated insulation replacement will not only freshen up your attic or crawl space by removing animal contaminants, but it may save you money in energy costs, as well. We use only the finest quality insulation products, many of which have higher R-values than products available years ago. In addition, as old insulation becomes compacted, it loses some of its insulating ability and becomes less efficient.
