An Ever Growing St Louis Wildlife Problem
Wild Missouri animals need food and shelter just like we do. They may move to attics just to find a shelter to live. They are attracted to human neighborhoods by the food we throw in our garbage and the safety that our houses provide from their predators. The wild animals living in your attic may damage you insulation and here is why.
Comfy material
Your insulation consists of small glass materials that wild St Louis animals find comfy for their beds and nests. They tend to tear of the insulation and use it as a building material for their nests. Depending on the animal involved they will use your insulation differently • Missouri quirrels will try to chew through your insulation and try to get a hole in it so they can rest there while being warm
• Rats will most probably dig holes in the insulation and nest inside it
• Bigger animals like St Louis raccoons and opossums will use the insulation as a nesting material and to make a comfier bed.
The problems they pose
Using your insulation in their lives will certainly mean that they are going to excrete their bodily fluids and feces onto your insulation. This is not something that you would want as their feces often contain harmful bacteria to humans and other St Louis animals. Repairing the insulation is often not possible due to the materials from which it is made. If you had wild animals tearing down your insulation and got rid of them you might want to consider getting a new one - or to begin with sealing down the holes in it with new parchments of insulation.
Outsource your problem or learn what to do
You can call a local Missouri wildlife removal service to get rid of the nuisance animals. Their job description often involves treating your insulation as well. If you are the one doing it then consider buying a new insulation and install it yourself. Make sure you remove every last bit of the old one that was used from the animals as the attic keeps warm and makes a perfect ground for bacteria to grow in it.
