Completed project · Glendale, CA 91201 · September 2026
Moderate rodent activity on the record, and two old layers to clear: grey loose-fill heaped under the ducts and older yellow batts slumped around the chimney. In this Glendale attic Atticare USA cleared everything to the deck, sanitized and sealed it, laid new R-38 16in batts, and added a fan to balance attic temperature and humidity.

The challenge
Two old layers and moderate rodent activity
The inspection photos show grey loose-fill piled unevenly under the duct runs, with wiring and bits of wood debris through it. Around the brick chimney, older yellow batts had slumped against the brickwork. The job record marks rodent activity as moderate, with droppings and nests in the old material.
Ventilation was part of the scope as well. That made it an attic job in two parts: rebuild the insulation from a clean, sealed deck, and install a fan to help balance attic temperature and humidity.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective barriers laid 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, down to a clear, bare surface.
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.
Improve ventilation
A fan installed to balance attic temperature and humidity.
New insulation
New R-38 16in Fiberglass Batts installed, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
Cleared to the deck, reinsulated, and ventilated
Protective barriers went down through the work path before any material was moved. The old insulation came out with a heavy-duty vacuum, rodent droppings and nests were vacuumed out, OdoBan was applied, the service area was rodent-proofed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, and gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents were air-sealed. New R-38 16in fiberglass batts went in, attic ventilation was improved with a fan installed to balance attic temperature and humidity, and two to four indicator traps were left as a check.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Glendale, answered
Can attic insulation and attic ventilation be done in the same project in Glendale?
Yes. On this Glendale job Atticare USA replaced the insulation and improved the ventilation in one project: the old layers came out, the attic was cleaned, sanitized and sealed, new R-38 16in batts went in, and a fan was installed to balance attic temperature and humidity.
Who removes old attic insulation with rodent droppings in Glendale?
Atticare USA. Here, with moderate rodent activity on the record, both old layers came out with a heavy-duty vacuum, the droppings and nests were vacuumed out, and OdoBan was applied before sealing and new insulation. Where live animals are present, a licensed pest control provider handles that part first. What drives the cost of replacement after rodents.
What does rodent proofing include after an attic cleanup in Glendale?
On this job the service area was sealed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents were air-sealed, and two to four indicator traps were left as a check. The rodent proofing carries a 1-year warranty. See how to compare rodent-proofing warranties.
