π LOFT CLEARANCE AFTER A HEAVY RAT INFESTATION π
These photos show a recent loft clearance was carried out following a heavy rat infestation.
When rats have been living in a loft, simply dealing with the rats isn't always enough. The area can be left heavily contaminated with droppings, urine, nesting material and contaminated insulation.
In this case, the loft required a full clearance to remove the contaminated material and allow the area to be properly cleaned and treated.
πΉ Contaminated insulation and debris removed
πΉ Rat droppings and nesting material safely removed
πΉ A suitable professional biocide used to treat contaminated surfaces
πΉ Loft space thoroughly cleaned and sanitised
πΉ Areas of concern inspected for signs of further pest activity
πΉ Advice provided to help prevent the infestation returning
β οΈ Why is this important?
Rat urine and droppings can contaminate a loft and shouldn't simply be swept up or vacuumed. Disturbing dried droppings and contaminated material can create additional risks, which is why appropriate PPE, cleaning methods and professional disinfectant/biocide products are important.
A loft that has been heavily infested can also smell, attract flies and other insects, and leave contamination behind even after the rats have gone.
