Toledo Rodent Removal Tip:

Can Rats in an Attic Destroy the Insulation?
When considering rat infestations, many presume rats are restricted to the ground floor. They look for entryways heading down into the basement, near the kitchen, and into garages. What they fail to realize is that rats are excellent climbers. They can and do climb up onto roofs, and once there they will make their way into the attic.

Once inside the attic, the damage caused by rats can be extensive. 

Do rats destroy insulation?
In short, yes. 

Rats scavenge far and wide for material to build their nests. Insulation fiber is the perfect material, being malleable, tearable, and easily transportable. Before you know it, the rats have torn vast holes in the insulation rendering it useless.

For many homeowners, this is a pressing issue. If you live in an extreme weather climate, with freezing winters, attic insulation is your guard against significant temperature fluctuations. This brings your heating bills down and helps make the winter months bearable. But, it also secures the structural integrity from rapid temperature changes – including burst pipes.

At worst, the insulation can be worse than no insulation at all. The holes act as vents for hot air to escape the house, significantly increasing utility bills. 

Insulation contamination
Even if the insulation hasn't been damaged directly, it has likely been contaminated with rat droppings and urine. You'll be able to tell by noting the black pellets and foul smell. If this is the case, the insulation is now an infection risk and must be replaced. The two main infection risks are leptospirosis and salmonella – considered severe conditions.

Other problems
Rats won't just stop at tearing about and soiling the insulation. They will gnaw through wiring and woodwork, creating new holes through and into the house. If left for a prolonged period, this may even have structural implications. That's why it is essential to deal with a rat infestation as soon as you notice the signs.

Signs of rats in the attic
Most people use their attics for storage, which means months can go by without checking. However, it is sensible to regularly inspect the area (monthly) to ensure no infestation has occurred or look for the telltale signs. 

• Scratching and squeaking sounds: Hearing rats move through the attic is the most likely indicator
• Foul smell
• Presence of rat droppings
• Spotting a rat in your house or outside
• Notice holes leading into your roof

How to clean it up?
Considering the infectious diseases that can be present, having the necessary equipment is essential. That's why it usually is best to hire an exterminator. 

Removing the rats will require a two-pronged approach.

First, the rats in the attic must be caught. This can be achieved by sealing all the holes and then using one-way cages to catch them leaving. Or through the use of poison. 

Then, once all the rats have been removed, the attic will need to be cleaned and decontaminated. Any remaining holes must be closed, and the insulation will need replacing. It can be tempting to leave the insulation in place. If the rats have only recently arrived, then some insulation may be salvageable. However, do not risk contamination. Leptospirosis and salmonella are both potentially deadly diseases. Therefore, if you suspect contamination, remove and replace. 

Conclusion
If rats enter your attic, they will damage the insulation, by building nests and contaminating it with urine and droppings. Rats use small holes to get inside. Closing these holes is the best method for keeping rats out and insulation safe. Thereby ensuring you don't spend a small fortune on utility bills.
