Animal Dropping In Attic
Damaged homes that are in
dire need of home repair, can lead you to more than just home
repairs.
The picture above is showing large animal
droppings in the corner of the attic and would have been hard to
remove but the siding and roofing on this home has also been
damaged by moisture from a roof leak and needed to be removed
and replaced.
Otherwise this animal feces could have been up in the attic for
quite a few years. It's hard to imagine how much more of the animals poop is
throughout the entire attic.
As a home repair specialists, I see this all
the time. Most of the time it's from rats and mice and maybe a
few birds but as you can see this is from a larger animal.
There is a very good chance that this animal was a raccoon. The
larger the animal, the larger the hole they will need to enter
your attic, from the outside.
Home Repair Tip: Examine the exterior of your home and this
would include the roofing, fireplace chimney and exterior walls
for any large or small holes.
If any holes are found, you can use a metal
screening to place over the holes, to prevent animals and
insects from going inside your attic, walls or ceilings, until
repairs can be made properly.
