Wildlife in your attic can make a horrible mess with their feces, latrine, and birthing areas. They can also cause extensive damage that compromises your home’s AC system, electrical wiring, and to the plumbing in homes that deliver their water through the attic. Wildlife such as rats, opossums, squirrels, and raccoons create an extremely hazardous situation that can put your health at serious risk. Raccoons pose the greatest health risk and may also be covered by your insurance.
Some wildlife feces carry a roundworm that is found in 40-60% of adults and 90-95% of juvenile raccoons. Raccoon roundworm is extremely dangerous to humans and is the most common reason for
attic restorations. It is most commonly contracted by humans through inhalation. It can cause nervous system disabilities, loss of vision, and death.
