Completed project · Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 · June 2026
A 750 sq ft Thousand Oaks attic, small enough that every problem in it was close together: old pink batts pushed out of place, moderate rodent activity, and open gaps at the can lights, wiring and vents. The crew cleared it to the deck, foamed and meshed each opening, and reinsulated with R-38 24in batts.

The challenge
A compact attic with gaps at every penetration
The old batts had shifted and slumped away from the joists, leaving bare patches, and the inspection found moderate rodent activity through them.
Just as important were the openings: gaps around recessed lights, wiring runs and vent holes. In a hot Conejo Valley attic, those gaps leak cooled air as well as letting rodents in.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective floor barriers and dust-barrier tunnels set through the work path before any material was moved, so the rest of the house stayed clean.
Remove the old insulation
The existing insulation taken out with a heavy-duty vacuum across 750 sq ft, down to bare joists and a clear deck.
Clean and sanitize
Rodent waste, droppings and nests vacuumed out, then OdoBan sanitation applied to neutralize odors, pheromones and bacteria.
Seal and rodent-proof
Entry points closed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, with two to four indicator traps left as a check. Gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed in the same pass.
New insulation
New R-38 24in Fiberglass Batts installed across 750 sq ft, on a clean, sealed deck rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
750 sq ft, sealed at every penetration and rebuilt
The attic went from shifted, contaminated batts to a clean deck, foam around the can lights and wiring, wire mesh across vent openings, and new R-38 24in fiberglass batts across all 750 sq ft.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Thousand Oaks, answered
Who does attic cleanup and insulation replacement in Thousand Oaks?
Atticare USA, as on this job: the old batts came out, the attic was cleaned and sanitized with OdoBan, gaps were sealed, and new R-38 24in batts went in on the clean deck.
Which attic companies near Thousand Oaks offer a warranty on rodent exclusion?
Atticare USA’s rodent proofing carries a 1-year warranty: a one-time fix rather than a recurring service contract. Here’s how to compare rodent-proofing warranties.
Why seal around can lights and wiring before insulating?
Those gaps leak conditioned air into the attic and give rodents a path. Sealing them first, as the crew did here with polyurethane foam, means the new insulation sits over a closed deck. The order of operations decides whether the fix lasts.
Does Atticare USA offer free attic inspections in Thousand Oaks?
