Why Professional Attic Cleaning is Essential After Pest Infestations

Health Risks from Contaminated Attics

Disease Transmission: Pest droppings, urine, and decomposing remains create serious health hazards in attic spaces. These contaminants can harbour dangerous pathogens, including:

​

  • Leptospirosis - a serious bacterial infection from rodent urine

  • Salmonella - foodborne illness from pest droppings

  • Hantavirus - potentially fatal respiratory disease

  • Histoplasmosis - a fungal infection from bird and bat droppings

  • Cryptosporidiosis - intestinal infection from contaminated surfaces


Airborne Contamination: Contaminated dust and debris from infested attics circulate through your home's ventilation system, spreading pathogens throughout living spaces. This airborne contamination particularly threatens children, elderly family members, and anyone with respiratory conditions.

Structural Damage: Pest waste and urine damage insulation effectiveness, create persistent odors, and can weaken structural materials over time. Contaminated insulation loses its thermal properties, increasing heating costs and creating moisture problems.

WHY DIY CLEANING IS NOT SAFE

Exposure Risks:

  • Airborne pathogens released during cleaning

  • Direct contact with infected materials

  • Inadequate protective equipment

  • Improper disposal methods creating environmental hazards

  • Incomplete decontamination leaving hidden health risks

 

Equipment Requirements: Professional attic cleaning requires specialised equipment including industrial HEPA vacuums, professional-grade disinfectants, hazmat suits, and certified disposal containers - equipment not available to homeowners.
