How Animals in the Attic Can Reduce Your Property Value

Finding animals in the attic is a headache no homeowner wants to ever deal with. Not only are they a nuisance, but your home will also need a thorough cleaning to get your attic back in shape. Realtors are having to give the bad news to homeowners that the inspection doesn’t look good due to animal droppings or animals being present in their attic.

Do you need wildlife removal services from your attic or elsewhere in your home?

Animals in the attic are dirty and potentially dangerous, Eraticators use tried-and-true methods to get the animals out of the attic for good.  Animals will quickly lower your house value, and cause destruction if not taken care of. Here is an overview of the damage they cause.

Contamination

Fur, urine, droppings, and saliva are all different ways animals or rodents in attic contaminate homes. Mice alone can spread diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and listeria. Food prep surfaces, such as counters, could now host diseases. As these pesky critters dirty more food than they eat, you’ll find nibbled cardboard boxes, loose papers, and other material quickly contaminated. Attics can be torn apart, boxes and valuables destroyed, and a path of destruction can be left behind. Other fun sights accompanying chewed material are droppings on pantry floors and around nesting areas, along with urine stains on ceilings. Either way, both situations are very unpleasant for anybody.

Without properly fixing the ceiling and decontaminating the space, selling becomes a bigger problem for many people. New homeowners don’t want to live in a place ruined and contaminated by rodents or other animals. A mouse’s oily fur alone is filled with a lot of bacteria and diseases, where brushing up along walls and corners leaves behind germs and residue. This means spending extra money sanitizing the home and ridding it of an animal’s presence will become very costly if not taken care of quickly.

Destruction

The destruction of animals or rodents in attic cause in the home isn’t only expensive to fix, it’s a safety hazard. Mice and most rodents are unstoppable, glue traps and mouse traps only are a short term fix… They’ll chew through the rigid foam and fiberglass insulation, and they’ll gnaw at the wood in the home, from furniture and trim to cabinets and door structure. Bare wires resulting from constant nibbling by mice who have gained access to the home’s wiring system can lead to house fires. When it comes time to sell, this kind of damage is often a big deal-breaker for potential buyers. 

An unsafe and unstable home does nothing to increase its value. When new buyers realize the extent of pest damage in the home, they’ll often ask for significant reductions in asking price—due to problems they’ll have to fix. Thousands of dollars in repairs is a problem nobody wants. 

Don’t let mice bring your property value down. Maintain your home’s integrity and animal proof your home. The damaged structure is bad for the home, and new homeowners won’t be happy to deal with a problem you left behind.  Inspectors and homeowners almost always do a very thorough check-in these certain areas of the homes where animals like to hide.

Prevent It Ahead of Time

Sealing your home from the start is the most effective and humane way to keep rodents and other animals out. We will fill any current holes and gaps so animals can’t find alternative entrances in. Chimney caps and weather stripping are just two great options to consider as well. Keep up with annual checks around the home to see if there are new cracks and that everything still holds up. You want to make your home animal-proof by examining all possible open spaces and determining whether new cracks in the foundation need filling.
