Rodent infestation can cause extensive damage to your home, and one of the most important steps you can take to protect your property is to install crawl space insulation.
This will help to keep rodents out of your home, and it will also help to protect your insulation from being damaged by urine and feces.
Crawl space insulation is a necessary part of any home, and can help you save on energy costs in the long run.
By installing insulation in your crawl space, you can keep the heat in during the winter months and the cool air in during the summer months. This will help to regulate the temperature in your home, and save you money on your energy bills.
What is the crawl space insulation service by Rodent Exterminator?
1. Process of preparation
Removing contaminated insulation won’t spread dangerous rodent-borne viruses to other parts of your house.
The surfaces leading to your attic entry are normally covered with thick plastic sheeting. Any valuables or furnishings should be moved away from the tainted insulation to a safe area.
2. Removal process
After the area has been prepared, the removal process can begin.
A powerful vacuum is used to remove blown-in insulation, which is then transferred to a safe container outside of your home.
Insulation removal bags, or batt insulation that comes in a roll, are used to wrap and store batt insulation. The bag is then carried off-site and disposed of.
3. Vacuum method
The entire attic space is vacuumed after the crawl space insulation is removed to ensure that any leftover trash or rat excrement is removed.
After this process is completed, your crawl space will be decontaminated, rodent proofed, and new insulation installed.
4. Replace the old insulation with new material.
The second insulation is installed after the other insulation has been inspected, removed, and vacuumed to ensure that your property is secure and clear of rodent traces.

How do I keep rats out of my crawl space insulation?
To keep rodents out of your crawl area, use the following strategies to make your crawl space less appealing to them:
- Food should never be kept in your crawl space.
- In your crawl space, install a light.
- Water and humidity should be avoided.
- To keep tunneling rodents out, use a “rat slab,” which is a thin metal plate, thick plastic, or stone.
- Fill up any gaps or fractures.
- Remove low-hanging foliage from your home’s perimeter.
- Brush heaps and wood build-up should be avoided.
- Avoid materials for nesting.
- Identify all possible access points.
What insulation is rodent-proof?
Spray foam insulation does not degrade over time like other types of insulation, remaining intact and free of sagging and gaps.
This rat and mouse-proof expanding foam covers every nook and corner in your home’s roof or loft, leaving no gaps for vermin to get through.
Spray foam insulation is a completely non-toxic, ecologically friendly insulating material that minimizes heat loss and saves you money on energy costs in addition to preventing pests and mice.
