Attic Restoration
Attic Pest Removal & Decontamination
If rodents or other wildlife inhabit your attic, they can cause unimaginable problems for homeowners, extending beyond mere rodent removal. These nesting animals can carry parasites, and once they are evicted, these parasites may seek new hosts inside your home, which includes you and your family. Concerning parasites include mites, ticks, and fleas. Moreover, we frequently encounter attics that are heavily contaminated with rodent feces and urine. These deposits emit strong odors that pose hazards and make your home unsafe and unhealthy for humans.
Furthermore, the lingering scent of a previous infestation can attract new rodents in search of shelter. Allow our professionals to restore your attic to its original or even better condition by installing barriers to minimize the risk of future infestations. We will thoroughly remove the soiled insulation and decontaminate the entire attic space in a safe and comprehensive manner. Once the necessary repairs are completed, we will replace the insulation with R38 insulation.
Our Attic Pest Removal Services Include:
- Removal of all contaminated insulation
- Vacuuming of all rodent droppings
- Sanitization of the attic
- Exclusion (closing entry points, replacing vents and screens, and conducting minor roof repairs)

Once all the contaminated insulation is removed and the area is sprayed and disinfected, Midway Pest Control will inspect for chewed wires, entry and exit points created by rodent infestations, and the integrity of truss and wood structures. Our goal is to ensure a secure and clean attic that is safe for you and your family.
We are dedicated to employing the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach in providing our services.

What is D.S.V. Treatment?
When you face serious pest control problems, there are often additional dangers from bacteria and viruses. Protect yourself and loved ones by applying Nisus DSV™, a disinfectant, sanitizer and virucide.
From Hantavirus to E. Coli, DSV kills harmful germs, bacteria, fungi, viruses and small flies. DSV is sprayed prior to clean-up, then the attic is sprayed again after insulation has been removed.
What is deodorization with BAC-AZAP®?
Bac-Azap® Odor Encapsulation Technology is a liquid that uses a triple action to eliminate organic odors. Replaces odors with a fresh scent, encapsulates the odor molecules, then a blend of microbes goes to work to consume organic odor-causing matter, eliminating the source of the odor. Excellent for eliminating dead animal, urine, vomit, feces, smoke and other organic odors. Bac-Azap® treatment will be applied after the insulation has been removed and DSV™ treatment has been applied.
What is air seal and ventilation?
Air sealing an attic is most definitely worth it as this will help prevent energy leaks allowing your home to be more energy efficient. The benefits of air sealing an attic can be substantial and there is no better time to air seal an attic than when it is clear of all insulation and all areas are visible to seal properly seal. Proper ventilation will also be accomplish by ensuring that the adequate amount of baffles are installed to allow air to properly flow in the attic to avoid moisture built up which can lead to mold.
How Do I Know I Need New Insulation?
Common signs indicating insulation may be needed are high energy bills, hard to keep cool in warm months or hard to warm in cold winter months. If wildlife has taken ownership of your attic your insulation may be contaminated posing health concerns for everyone inside the home. Mice, Rats, Raccoon, Squirrels, Birds and other small wildlife can take residence in attics, causing significant damage and contamination to attic insulation.
