Will homeowners insurance cover the cost of removal cleanup and prevention of bats in an attic?
This depends on your insurance company. The bat exlusionists who visited my home said that some companies will cover it, no questions asked. Other companies classify it as "vermin" and won't cover it at all. You could try to say you have toxoplasmosis mold in your attic and say it's mold removal to get the cleanup paid for.
Does Nationwide Insurance cover squirrel removal and disinfect?
Afraid Not. Homeowners insurance is for covered causes only and this is a maintenance issue. Damage must also be "sudden and accidental" and not happen over time. I will give you some personal advice. Use peppermint oil soaked into cotton balls and placed around the attic. This will get them out. Then you have to stop up any holes bigger that an inch to keep them from getting back in.

Does state farm insurance cover raccoon damage in attic?
I understand, from conversation with State Farm agents, that yes, State Farm, at least here in Colorado, does cover damage done by raccoons, even though State Farm policies may not cover damage done by "rodents" or "vermin". Raccoons are generally considered to be "wildlife" and thus, damage done by them is treated similarly to dmaage done by their distant cousins, bears.
Proper Attic Ventilation 101?
Home attic ventilation is a necessity for every home. There are 2 main reasons why attic ventilation is a must. Heat accumulation and moisture damage are issues that can hinder homeowners depending on the season. Heat Accumulation During the warm and hot months, heat accumulates in the attic. When Summer is at it’s peak and temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the attic can reach over 150 degrees. If a home has poorly insulated ceilings, the air conditioner spends more time running than necessary. This can really affect the electric bills. Adding attic ventilation can reduce the temperature of the attic to only 5-10 degrees above the outside heat temperature. This greatly reduces the demand on your air conditioner. The affect is lower electric bills. Attic ventilation helps hot air to escape the attic. Without proper ventilation, hot air is trapped in the attic. Ventilation gives hot air a means to get out of the attic. Moisture Damage Winter brings cold, damp days. The moisture gets trapped in the rafters and attic space. Without ventilation, the moisture builds up in the attic, which can lead to damage. Moisture speeds up deterioration of insulation and other materials found in the attic. In addition to the deterioration, you can wind up with a serious mold issue. Anytime you have to get mold removal services, you are talking high expense. Ventilation enables fresh air to clear out moisture and prevent it from building up. Types of Ventilation There are a few different types of ventilation. Natural vents allow nature to do it’s job of providing fresh air and pushing out heat and moisture. Attic fans can be a great ventilation tool. Attic fans can be electric and solar. The cost of running electric fans are still cheaper than the cost of heat and moisture remaining in your attic. Solar fans are economical because you purchase them, install them and the costs are over, while the benefits continue. Attic heat and moisture can cause unwanted expenses for home owners. The simplest solution is proper attic ventilation. Home owners have a number of choices in ventilation options. No matter what choice for ventilation a home owner chooses, ventilation is a necessity to lower electric bills and prevent moisture damage.
