Racoons and Rat poop in the attic

Posted

My parents had a summer home that has been pretty much unused for the past two years.  I came down to clean it out and get it rented and thus begins the journey.

Informed that there is racoon poop and rat poop in the attic.  I'm being told it is throughout the attic space and all the insulation should go.

What is the typical price for this type of work?

The pest guy is telling me he can do it all, remove the old insulation and add the new...waiting on the price.

The HVAC guy is telling me he can do it to.  $4.5 a  square foot for 2500.

I saw some other post on this that talk about going through the insurance company.  Concerned that since the house has been empty for most of the two years insurance is going to deny.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know companies in Virginia Beach area that does this kind of work?

No droppings in the room, but judging by the sound in the walls I'm pretty sure they have a dj and ladies are free before they 11.
