Article Written by Trapper Robb Russell, for Attic Restoration USA




One of the biggest decisions home and building owners ask themselves is why is it important to have an attic restoration done after having wildlife removed from their attic.

Many quickly rationalize with ” I don’t use it “, or ” I will stop using it! ” and oh ” its just an attic! “

The fact is two very important factors come into play and can not be ignored.

(1) The value and resale of your home or building.

Wildlife control operators across the country everyday get calls after a home inspection to close on their home or because of strange smells in the home occupants are unaware of that a real estate agent says must be fixed before the home will ever sale. Recently, in Mankato, Minnesota a elderly couple were thinking about selling thier home and going into an assisted care facilty. The realtor walked into the home and quickly picked up on a foul odor. Upon questioning they said they knew bats inhabited the attic for years and just don’t use the upstairs of their home anymore. Upon inspection of the upstairs urine actually bat guano stains covered all the upstairs celings was not only unsightly but was rank in odor and the home unsellable.

A local wildlife control company was sent in to inspect and found a large colony estimated in excess of over 1000 bats occupied the attic and with protective equipment peeked into the attic and found over 1 foot depths of bat guano or fecal waste all over the attic floor.The wildlife control operator and was able to get the cleanup done for the cost of the homes deductable from thier homeowners policy and all the bats were removed and months later the home sold for above market value.

(2) The health of your family and any workers hired into an attic to fix plumbing, air, heat, electric ,cable, phone and other professionals.

Bats and birds waste is dangerous. When dried it becomes a airborne hazard not olnly to workers but can actually flow into the living space of your home and can cause illness or even death.The most common disease is histoplasmosis which cause at first long term , unexplainable flu like effects for months and need to be corrected by antibiotics and have the entire building or home cleaned up.

Bats and birds can be quite dangerous. There are two specific health hazards that are associated with bats, Rabies and Histoplasmosis. Please visit the Center For Disease Control.
