One of the biggest decisions home and building owners ask themselves is why is it important to have an attic
restoration done after having wildlife removed from their attic. Many quickly rationalize with "I don't use it", or "I
will stop using it!" and oh "its just an attic!"

The fact is two very important factors come into play and can not be ignored.

(1) The value and resale of your home or building.

Wildlife control operators across the country everyday get calls after a home inspection to close on their home or
because of strange smells in the home occupants are unaware of that a real estate agent says must be fixed
before the home will ever sale. Recently, in Mankato, Minnesota a elderly couple were thinking about selling thier
home and going into an assisted care facilty. The realtor walked into the home and quickly picked up on a foul
odor. Upon questioning they said they knew bats inhabited the attic for years and just don't use the upstairs of
their home anymore. Upon inspection of the upstairs urine actually bat guano stains covered all the upstairs
celings was not only unsightly but was rank in odor and the home unsellable.

A local wildlife control company was sent in to inspect and found a large colony estimated in excess of over 1000
bats occupied the attic and with protective equipment peeked into the attic and found over 1 foot depths of bat
guano or fecal waste all over the attic floor.The wildlife control operator and was able to get the cleanup done for
the cost of the homes deductable from thier homeowners policy and all the bats were removed and months later
the home sold for above market value.

(2) The health of your family and any workers hired into an attic to fix plumbing, air, heat, electric ,cable, phone and
other professionals.

Bats and birds waste is dangerous. When dried it becomes a airborne hazard not olnly to workers but can actually
flow into the living space of your home and can cause illness or even death.The most common disease is
histoplasmosis which cause at first long term , unexplainable flu like effects for months and need to be corrected
by antibiotics and have the entire building or home cleaned up. For more on histoplasmosis click here.
