Finding animals in your attic is a complicated situation, but things become even more stressful when you realize the mess you’ll have to clean up. Squirrels use attic insulation for nesting materials, rodents chew through electrical wiring, and mother raccoons find shelter to give birth.

At Critter Control in Dallas, we offer safe and humane animal removal and exclusion services, as well as full attic cleanup and restoration services that will clean your space from top to bottom.

Why Attic Remediation and Restoration Is Important After an Infestation

Wildlife, rodents, and pests in the attic are a serious problem and often leave major damage behind in their wake. After ridding your attic of critters, it’s important to complete proper attic remediation because of the potential:

• Health risks: Rodents carry various disease-inducing organisms, such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella, which can be transmitted through their droppings to your pets and loved ones. Additionally, their feces and urine can cause respiratory ailments and allergies for you and your family.
• Structural damage: To gain entry to your attic and build cozy nests for their young, rodents will chew on wood, wiring, and insulation. They’ll gnaw through nearly anything in their way, causing fire hazards and compromising the structure of your attic.
• Re-infestations: Leftover nests and droppings may attract other pests, including insects and new rodents, opening the door to recurring infestations.

Our Attic Restoration Process

At Critter Control in Dallas, we pride ourselves on our cleanup and restoration services. We start by humanely removing any pests from your home. After our exclusion services have been carefully completed, we will clean and disinfect your attic to remove the unpleasant odors and droppings that have been left behind by the animals. In cases where the animal may have died, we also offer animal odor removal services to ensure your attic is cleaned according to proper sanitation standards.

Attic Cleaning Service after Infestations

Along with humanely removing the critters from your home, we pay very close attention to contaminated areas that need to be addressed. Attic Decontamination after infestation includes removing the hazardous materials, applying sanitizing agents to the affected area, using commercial-grade odor control, and, in some cases, replacing the insulation in the attic.

• Contaminated materials such as droppings, nesting materials, and feces.
• Applying sanitization agents to areas like wood and metal
• Deodorizing to control persistent odors from urine, feces, or decomposing materials

Insulation Replacement

Your uninvited attic guests may damage insulation during their stay, nesting in it and contaminating the old insulation with urine and droppings.

During our inspection, we’ll evaluate the insulation and replace it with new insulation if necessary. Generally, we recommend insulation replacement when:

• Areas are heavily contaminated with rodent waste.
• Insulation has suffered significant water damage.
• Insulation is old and no longer effective.
• There are signs of mold or mildew growth.

Professional Insulation Services in Dallas

At Critter Control in Dallas, we offer complete insulation services to help your attic be more energy-efficient and keep your home safe from potential infestations. We take care of every part of the process, including removal and installation.

Attic Insulation Replacement

Removing old and damaged insulation is the first and most important step in getting your attic ready for the installation of new material. We safely remove old, contaminated insulation infested with pests, leaving your attic clean, pest-free, and ready for new insulation.

Efficient Attic Insulation Installation

Proper installation is a must for making the most out of your new insulation’s energy efficiency and comfort capabilities. We do blown-in insulation, one of the leading picks for attic insulation, favored for its ability to fill even the tiniest gaps in your attic.

How much insulation is enough? Installing the right amount, not too much or too little, is crucial to ensure the right result. Too little insulation leaves your home vulnerable to uncomfortable temperature fluctuations, whereas too much can compromise ventilation and lead to moisture buildup.

We’ll evaluate your attic to install just the right amount, ensuring you can enjoy all the benefits of new, fresh attic insulation.

Energy Efficient & Pest Control

At Critter Control, we recommend cellulose insulation treated with thermal, acoustical, and pest control (TAP) properties. This multi-functional material offers protection in three ways:

• Thermal protection: This insulation cools your home in the summer and heats it in the winter by preventing the conditioned air your HVAC system pumps from escaping. This, in turn, reduces your energy bills.
• Acoustical benefits: The fluffy layers of insulation help reduce outside noise for a quiet and more peaceful home environment.
• Pest deterrent: TAP insulation is treated with a natural pest control agent that helps prevent infestations, adding an extra layer of protection to your home.

With our expertly installed insulation, you’ll enjoy a more energy-efficient, quieter, and pest-free home for years to come.
