Wildlife In Your Attic
Wildlife in your Attic - The first sign that most people will recognize when it comes to having wild animals in the attic will be the sound of scratching or gnawing coming down through the ceiling, although spotting animals on the roof can also be a common sign. This should be a call to action, as animals in the attic or roof space can be a significant problem, and the longer that they are allowed to remain, the greater the amount of damage that they are likely to cause. As well as the destruction of insulation material and the contamination of the space with urine and feces, animals are also known to gnaw on electrical cables and wires, which can cause a significant problem such as a power cut or the loss of signal from an aerial or satellite dish. Common animals in the attic are squirrels, mice, rats, racoons and bats.
Bats in particular need to be dealt with very specifically and would highly recommend a professional service. As guano breaks down, it releases harmful pathogens into the air. These spores can cause histoplasmosis if inhaled. Histoplasmosis is a respiratory infection that affects the lungs. Its symptoms vary widely, but can include: a mild cough and headache, difficulty breathing, fever, chest pain or blurred vision. Histoplasmosis does not have a high mortality rate in general, but it can be serious for those with compromised immune systems. That is why it is important to protect yourself by having the bat droppings removed. Additionally, the spores in bat guano are airborne. Your home’s ventilation system may spread these spores easily.
There are numerous Wildlife Control companies in the metro area that will inspect your home, remove any wildlife, clean up/disinfect any droppings, trap/remove any wildlife and seal up entry points. A Wildlife warranty (or bond) is highly suggested. It is very similar to a Termite Bond, you pay the most initially to have the work done and then a quarterly or yearly renewal to keep the service active.
It is quite common in Chateau Elan homes to have signs of wildlife in the attic due to the many mature trees.
