Attic Contamination From Raccoons
Raccoons are one of the most common animals to live inside attics. They can climb anything, and tear their way into almost anything. When they live inside your attic, it's
their home - and their personal toilet as well. Raccoons can cause severe sanitation problems inside an attic - they poop and pee everywhere, and bring food and parasites
inside as well. In some cases, the contamination can be severe.
I highly recommend attic cleaning and restoration if you've had raccoons above your ceiling.
Here's an example of some raccoon droppings in an attic. This isn't the worst they can do, but it's still not good. Raccoon droppings can contain raccoon
roundworm, which is transferrable to pets or people, even by air.
Here's another photo of raccoon excrement in an attic. You can also see in these photos that the insulation is no longer light and fluffy. It has been trampled down -
which significantly lowers its R-value and effectiveness.
I recommend attic decontamination services if you've had raccoons living in your attic. In fact, you might want complete insulation removal and replacement. Complete attic
restoration is covered by homeowner's insurance in the case of raccoons living in an attic, and getting the attic cleaned and reinsulated will eliminate the unsanitary and
potentially dangerous state of the attic, full of odor, disease, and parasites - plus the smell that could attract new wildlife.
