So, apparently I have a rodent issue in one of my 3 attics. As of now, the plan is to have an exterminator company perform an "exclusion", where they locate all potential points of entry for rodents, and fill them up/place screens over them to keep rodents out. Then, I have to have a company vacuum out all of the current insulation/rodent droppings/rodents. Then, the insulation has to be replaced. Anyone been through this, or something similar before?
The company that has bid the job wants to blow in cellulose insulation, which I think is a solid option. However, after doing some research, I think it would be smarter (although a lot more costly) to apply foam insulation to the underside of the roof. This would make it easier on my AC/heating units, which are located in the attic, and prevent issues with my ducts, which are also in the attic. This would also help to keep out rodents/insects and remove the possibility of them having a layer cellulose to live in should they get into the attic in the future.
Anyone have any advice as to any of this? How would you go about finding the best company to do the job? (Live in North Dallas, BTW).
Thanks in advance.
