Rodents, raccoons, opossums, birds and bats in an attic, crawlspace, chimney or wall cavity leave behind a biohazard, not just a nuisance. Accumulated droppings and urine carry pathogens including Histoplasma capsulatum in bird and bat guano and hantavirus in rodent droppings, and the contamination continues to affect indoor air long after the animals are gone. Restotech handles the decontamination, remediation and reconstruction side of the problem and coordinates humane removal.
The sequence matters. Animals are removed or evicted humanely and in compliance with wildlife protections, which for bats means one-way exclusion outside of maternity season. Every entry point is then sealed with rodent-proof and weather-appropriate materials so the problem cannot recur. Only then does decontamination begin: containment and negative air are established, contaminated insulation and porous materials are removed and bagged, droppings are wetted rather than swept to prevent aerosolization, surfaces are HEPA vacuumed and treated with an appropriate antimicrobial, and the space is deodorized to remove the pheromone trails that attract new animals.
We finish by replacing removed insulation to the correct R-value, repairing damaged framing, ductwork, wiring and vapor barriers, and verifying that the exclusion holds. You receive documentation of the entry points sealed, the materials removed and the decontamination performed, along with photographs of the space before and after. Technicians work in appropriate respiratory protection throughout, because this is regulated biohazard work, not cleaning.
