Pigeon droppings and nesting debris introduce mites, ticks, fleas, and beetles, creating a very unhygienic environment. Pigeon droppings contain pathogens and bacteria that can cause very serious illness in humans.
Pigeons mainly transmit disease to humans when people inhale airborne particles from their dried, contaminated droppings. Because infection can result from even a brief, passing exposure, we advise people to keep out of lofts containing dried pigeon droppings.
To eliminate these health risks and get your loft back to thermal efficiency, Effective Pest Solutions offers solutions. For severe infestations, we recommend removing and replacing the entire loft insulation. This will eliminate all disease risk and contaminated material. Protect your family’s health and your home’s energy performance by dealing with pest-damaged loft insulation quickly and thoroughly.

Do you need to replace your insulation?
Pest infestations – especially from rodents and pigeons – can be a health hazard in your loft. Contaminated insulation must be professionally handled to prevent disease transmission and get your home warm again.
We only do this full loft service once a professional pest control technician has confirmed the pests are completely gone.
How does loft insulation removal work?
Our process starts with a complete assessment of your existing loft insulation, checking for damage, degradation, active pests and hazardous contamination. The loft insulation clearance then removes all existing material from the attic space.
Our experienced team follow strict safety protocols throughout the process. We use specialist equipment and protective measures to minimise your exposure to insulation fibres and airborne contaminants, so the space is clean and safe for the new high-performance insulation to be installed.

Loft Insulation Removal: FAQs
When do I need to remove my current insulation?
Loft insulation typically lasts 20 to 30 years, but you should inspect it every 10 to 15 years for damage, compression or contamination. Material type and condition dictate removal frequency. If you see signs of a rat infestation or wear, contact Effective Pest Solutions Control for an inspection.
How much does loft insulation removal cost?
Costs vary depending on the material type, the severity of the infestation, and the level of loft access. Effective Pest Solutions offers individual assessments to provide exact quotes.
Do I need to replace my loft insulation after a rodent infestation?
Yes, replacement is often necessary. Rodents nest in insulating materials and heavily contaminate them with waste. Effective Pest Solutions uses an integrated approach: we remove the soiled insulation, seal entry points and use necessary controls. Replacing the material resolves the core hygiene issue and prevents recurrence.
What are the signs that I need professional loft insulation removal?
Look out for clear signs such as active rodent infestations, dampness or mould, persistent unpleasant odours or insulation that is compressed and has lost its thermal performance. Contamination or degraded performance means removal is needed.
Should I hire a professional team to do the work, or can I do it myself?
Due to health risks from dust, contaminants and disturbing active pests, professional service is highly recommended. Effective Pest Solutions uses correct personal protective equipment (PPE) and approved disposal methods, so the job is done safely and your loft is left clean and ready for new insulation.
