Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick, clear responses to the most common questions about our rodent cleanup, proofing, pricing, and process – so you know exactly what to expect.


1. Do you trap or remove animals from the attic?
Yes. we will inspect your home and if there are animals in your attic we can get rid of them.



2. What types of messes do you clean from attics?

We clean up rodent droppings, urine stains, nests, and contaminated insulation. We also deodorize the attic and remove light debris caused by wildlife activity.


3. Is your cleaning process safe for my family and pets?

Absolutely. We use EPA-registered, non-toxic disinfectants and follow strict safety procedures. Once dry, our treatments are safe for children, pets, and everyone in the home.


4. How long does the attic cleanup take?
Most jobs take 4 to 8 hours, depending on the size of your attic and the severity of contamination. We’ll give you a time estimate after the inspection.


5. Do you reinstall insulation after removing it?
Yes, we can assist you in new insulation.


6. Do I need to remove anything from the attic before you arrive?
Not usually. If you have storage boxes or personal items up there, we may ask you to relocate them to avoid cross-contamination. Otherwise, we can work around most setups.


7. What animals do you typically clean up after?
We clean messes caused by rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and similar wildlife. If you’ve had any of these in your attic, we can help.


8. Will the smell go away after cleaning?
Yes — we use professional odor neutralizers and sanitizing foggers that eliminate odors at the source (not just mask them). In most cases, the smell is gone the same day.


9. How do I prevent this from happening again?
After cleanup, we’ll advise you on sealing entry points (rodent proofing). While we don’t do exclusion ourselves, we can recommend trusted local pros or show you what to fix.


10. Can I see before and after photos of my attic?
Yes! We document our work with before-and-after photos so you can clearly see the difference and use them for your own peace of mind or insurance claims.
