Even if you already know you have a rodent problem on your ceiling, you may be wondering why cleaning and restoration work is necessary. After all, nothing but dust and insulation, so why is it important to invest in rodent cleaning?
Rodents pose a serious risk to human and animal health, as they can transmit various diseases and parasites which are not only spread by direct contact but also through feces and urine that’s why attic clean up is very important.

If there is a rodent pest in your attic or if you have a rodent-resistant attic, it is important to note that pests can easily spread further to other parts of your home by using the openings as crawl space.
Destruction and cleaning becomes much more difficult and expensive if you wait for the problem to spread, causing even more damage. Also, without a track cleaning service, you might not even know the extent of contamination damage.
Search for the signs of rodent activity in your attic:
Urine
Rodent urine has a very strong odor and can easily be smelled during large-scale invasions. In rare cases, you may see fresh urine stains on wood and other surfaces.
Chew holes
Rodents often make holes in the rooms in which they live. Your power cord can be used as an indicator. Rat holes are usually a penny size with clean edges, while mouse holes are nearly a quarter sized and rough around the edges.
