Attic Insultation Service

Attic insulation removal and replacement is a service where Foxie Pest Control removes old or contaminated insulation, cleans the attic area, and installs new insulation to restore your home’s energy efficiency and improve attic cleanliness.

This is especially important after rodent activity, since insulation can become contaminated with droppings and urine.

Attic insulation helps your home:

• Stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter
• Reduce energy loss
• Maintain consistent indoor temperatures
• Lower heating and cooling costs
   

Damaged or flattened insulation can stop working properly, which makes your HVAC system work harder.

Insulation should be removed if it is:

• Contaminated by rodents
• Heavily soiled with droppings or urine
• Damaged or flattened from nesting
• Old and no longer insulating properly
• Causing odor issues inside the home

Yes. Rodent urine and droppings can create a strong odor that sinks into insulation and attic materials. Even after rodents are gone, the scent can remain and may continue attracting new rodents.

Removing contaminated insulation helps eliminate these odor sources.

It can. Attic air can circulate into the home through:

• Ceiling gaps
• Recessed lights
• Attic access hatches
• Duct openings or returns
   

When insulation is contaminated, it can contribute to unpleasant smells and airborne particles, potentially impacting comfort and health.

Foxie Pest Control installs new attic insulation based on your home’s needs, including:

• Blown-in insulation
• Cellulose insulation (commonly used and very effective)
   

We ensure the attic insulation is installed evenly and to the correct depth for proper performance.

In many cases, yes. Installing new attic insulation helps reduce temperature transfer, meaning your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool your home.

Customers often notice:

• Better comfort
• Fewer hot/cold spots
• Improved energy efficiency

Yes. Rodents can:

• Tunnel through insulation
• Flatten it down
• Create nests
• Contaminate it with droppings and urine
   

This destroys the insulation’s ability to properly regulate temperature.

Yes. During insulation removal, we remove:

• Contaminated insulation
• Droppings
• Nesting debris and materials
   

This helps restore the attic to a cleaner and healthier condition.

Yes, in most cases it’s strongly recommended. If rodents can still access the attic, new insulation may also get contaminated again.

That’s why Foxie Pest Control often combines:
✅ rodent exclusion (seal entry points)
✅ attic insulation removal
✅ new insulation installation

Most insulation removal and replacement projects can be completed in one day, depending on attic size and the scope of cleanup needed. Larger attics or severe contamination may take longer. 

It can be messy if done incorrectly, but Foxie Pest Control uses professional equipment and containment methods to keep the job clean and controlled, removing debris properly and safely. 

Removing contaminated insulation dramatically reduces odor because it removes the main source (urine and droppings absorbed into insulation). In heavier contamination cases, additional attic sanitation or treatment may be recommended for best results. 

Yes. Foxie Pest Control backs our work and stands behind our services, especially when insulation service is paired with rodent exclusion to prevent future issues.
