Rats, mice, squirrels, and even raccoons consider your home a warm, cozy place to make their own. Rodent insulation damage is one of the biggest concerns here in North Texas, especially during our cooler winter months when rodent invasions increase. Rodents prefer safe and sheltered environments, your attic being the perfect place to do just that, as the insulation provides them with an easy place to create a nest. It’s warm and can be moved around very easily by virtually any rodent. Once a nest is established and the rodent has made your attic their home, a colony of rodents is sure to follow, leading to even more damage. Rodent colonies can not only cause insulation damage, but they are notorious for chewing through wires, pipes, and wood. Their teeth never stop growing, so they must constantly gnaw to keep them grinded down. Whether an infestation is current or old, replacing the damaged insulation is critical.
