Another loft completed by the team at Bite Back Pest Control!

This loft had heavy contamination from rat urine and droppings, so we safely removed the old insulation, fully cleaned and sanitised the space, and installed fresh insulation to make the loft clean, safe, and energy-efficient again.

If you’ve had rats or other pests in your loft, the damage goes far beyond a bit of noise in the ceiling. Rodents constantly gnaw on timbers, pipes, and even electrical wiring, increasing the risk of structural damage and fire hazards. They shred loft insulation to build nests, burrow through it, and leave behind urine and droppings that soak deep into the material.

Once insulation has been contaminated, it holds strong ammonia smells from rat urine and the bacteria carried in droppings. Over time, that odour can seep into the living areas below, especially in warmer months. Contaminated insulation also loses its effectiveness, meaning your home may become colder in winter and less energy efficient overall.

A professional loft clearance removes all soiled insulation, nesting material, and debris safely and hygienically. After thoroughly sanitising and deodorising the area, new high-quality insulation can be installed to restore warmth, improve air quality, and give you peace of mind that your loft space is clean and pest-free.

If you’ve noticed signs of rats or pests in your attic, don’t just treat the infestation, restore your loft properly. Removing and replacing contaminated insulation protects your property, eliminates lingering smells, and helps prevent future problems.
