Completed project · Danville, CA 94506 · September 2026
Severe rodent activity is on the record for this 1,600 sq ft Danville attic, and the old yellow loose-fill had to come out entirely. After heavy waste and nests were vacuumed out, the crew sanitized the deck, foamed around electrical boxes, meshed the roof vents and duct openings, and laid new R-38 24in batts.

The challenge
Severe rodent activity through the old loose-fill
The inspection recorded severe rodent activity, with heavy waste, droppings and nests through the old yellow loose-fill across 1,600 sq ft.
At that level there is no version of the job that keeps the old layer. The sequence was fixed: remove, clean, sanitize, seal, and only then insulate.
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 across 1,600 sq ft, down to a clear, bare surface.
Clean and sanitize
Heavy 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 1,600 sq ft, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
1,600 sq ft, from severe to sealed and reinsulated
The attic finished with the old loose-fill and the waste in it removed, the deck treated with OdoBan, foam around electrical boxes and penetrations, wire mesh over the roof vents and duct openings, and new R-38 24in fiberglass batts across all 1,600 sq ft.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Danville, answered
Which companies do attic cleaning and decontamination in Danville, CA?
Atticare USA does attic decontamination in Danville as a full project. On this job, with severe rodent activity, the old loose-fill came out, heavy waste and nests were vacuumed up, the attic was sanitized with OdoBan, entry points were sealed, and new R-38 24in batts went in last.
What happens to an attic with severe rodent activity?
The contaminated insulation comes out completely, the deck is vacuumed and sanitized, and every entry point is sealed with wire mesh, foam and cement before new insulation goes in. Live animals, where present, are removed first by a licensed pest control provider. See the 5-step process.
