I had treatment Wednesday after, calling up in a panic Tuesday day. Charlie and Craig were amazing really reassuring, friendly and down to earth, as I worked myself into a right state, I was very scared on edge. I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

I recently had to contact RS Pest Control and couldn't be more impressed with the service, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, and took the time to expalin the process. They conducted a comprehensive inspection of my property, identifying potential problems areas. The treatment itself was effective and I apprecaited their use of safe products. The treatment has been effective and has provided peace of mind.
The communication from the entire team has been excellent.

I highly recommend RS Pest Control to anyone requiring and effective cost effcient service - customer satisfaction and quality service.

Rat droppings on loft boards beside fouled insulation during a loft clearance

Why Fouled Loft Insulation Needs Removing

When rats or mice get into a loft, they leave droppings and urine on the boards and in the insulation between the joists. Birds and squirrels do similar damage in roof spaces. The insulation itself is often torn, compressed or soiled, and the loft can start to smell.

On the jobs we see, droppings collect on loft boards and in the gaps beside the insulation, and fouled material has to come out before the space is clean again. Leaving contaminated loft insulation in place keeps that mess above the rooms you live or work in.

The photo shows contamination in a loft before clearance.

At RS Pest Control, loft insulation clearance is a clear-and-clean job. We take out what has been contaminated and tidy the loft afterwards. You then decide whether you want new insulation put back. To talk through what you’ve found, please fill in our form above or get in touch.

How Does Loft Insulation Removal Work? Our 4-Step Process

When you book loft insulation clearance with us, we follow the same four steps, so the loft is assessed, cleared and left clean.

The photo shows a loft after the insulation has been removed, ready for cleaning and optional new insulation.

Get in touch when you notice droppings, nesting, a smell or damaged insulation in the loft, or after a pest problem has been treated. Phone advice is free. We’ll ask what you’ve seen and talk you through your options, including whether you want our team to fit new insulation afterwards.

Sometimes we can advise over the phone. Other times we’ll need to visit your property to see how much insulation is affected and what needs removing, and a survey charge may apply. We’ll confirm what the base clear-and-clean job covers and whether you want our team to fit new insulation as an optional add-on.

On the job, we remove contaminated insulation, droppings, nesting material and carcasses where they are present. We then vacuum and clean the loft, and finish with a disinfectant spray. That clear-and-clean work is the base service — the removal of loft insulation that pests have fouled, not a full loft rebuild.

We’ll advise you on looking after the loft once it’s clear. New loft insulation after pest clearance is optional: our technicians fit it only if you ask for it, and it is never automatic. On loft clearance jobs, the pests are finished first, then the insulation clearance goes ahead.

Clearance After Rats, Mice, Birds Or Squirrels

Loft clearance after pests follows a rat or mouse job once the pests are finished. Rats nest in loft insulation; mice use roof spaces too, and people often ask about mice in the loft — usually how they get in through small gaps at the eaves, pipe runs or damaged felt. After the pests are dealt with, the fouled insulation, droppings and nesting still need to come out. That is the loft clean after rats or mice that many homeowners look for.

We deal with rat control, mice control, grey squirrel control, seagull control and pigeon control across the area. Where birds have left droppings or guano in a roof space, we can advise on the right clearance and point you to our bird work, including bird proofing where that is needed. If you’re not sure whether the pests are still active, tell us what you’ve seen — we finish the pest work first, then clear the insulation.

We also clean up lofts after rats. The photo shows new loft insulation laid after a clearance, once the fouled material is out.
