Oklahoma City, OK & Surrounding Areas
Your attic is the most common entry point for pests in Oklahoma homes — and the most damaging place for them to nest. Rodents, squirrels, raccoons, bats, and insects that establish themselves in your attic contaminate insulation, chew through wiring, create structural damage, and degrade your home’s air quality. Most pest companies treat the pest. They don’t address the damage left behind. Insulation Systems of Oklahoma is the only Oklahoma City company that handles the complete attic pest problem: removal of the pests, full remediation of contaminated insulation, sanitization of the attic space, and re-insulation with high-performance materials that restore your home’s energy efficiency and health standards. One company. One call. Complete resolution.
why it matters
Oklahoma City’s climate is particularly hospitable to attic pests. Warm summers push rodents, squirrels, and insects to seek cooler spaces — your attic provides exactly that. Cold winters drive rodents inside looking for warmth and nesting material — and your attic insulation is the perfect nesting material. Spring and fall are when wildlife like squirrels and raccoons are most actively seeking nesting sites to raise their young.
The damage that results is substantial and often hidden. A single family of mice can contaminate an entire attic’s worth of blown-in insulation with urine and droppings. Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, creating serious fire hazards. Raccoons can destroy vapor barriers and insulation within days. And once contaminated insulation is in place, it pumps biological contaminants — allergens, bacteria, and pathogens — directly into your living space through every air leak in your ceiling.
Oklahoma homeowners who delay addressing attic pest infestations typically face compounding costs: pest control, insulation replacement, electrical repair, and in some cases, structural repair. The average attic pest remediation job that involves contaminated insulation costs significantly more than the same job caught early. Our free inspection service is specifically designed to catch these problems before they reach that stage.
pest indicators
If you notice any of these signs, do not delay. Attic pest infestations grow quickly. A few mice become dozens within weeks. Contact us immediately for a free inspection.
how it works
We begin with a complete attic inspection that goes far beyond what standard pest control companies do. We assess the full scope of pest activity, map all identified entry points, evaluate the condition of your existing insulation, check for electrical wiring damage, assess moisture levels and ventilation, and photograph all findings for your records.
This inspection is provided free of charge with no obligation. We provide a written assessment on-site before we recommend any services.
Based on the species involved, we implement the appropriate removal strategy. For rodents, this includes snap trap deployment in key activity zones, monitoring and removal over a defined period, and once activity has ceased, complete exclusion work to seal every identified entry point permanently. We use professional-grade materials — steel wool, hardware cloth, expanding foam, and caulk — that pests cannot chew through or remove.
For wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, or opossums, we use humane exclusion methods that remove animals without harm and seal entry points to prevent return. For insect colonies — bees, wasps, or carpenter ants in the attic space — we apply targeted treatments to eliminate the colony before proceeding with remediation.
Contaminated insulation must be removed. This is not optional. Leaving pest-contaminated insulation in place — even after the pests are gone — means your home continues to pump biological contaminants into your living space. Rodent urine in particular contains hantavirus risk particles that become airborne when disturbed.
Our insulation removal team uses commercial-grade vacuum equipment to extract all contaminated blown-in insulation. We then treat the attic deck, framing, and surfaces with an EPA-registered biocide sanitizer that eliminates bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and odors left behind by pest activity. After sanitization, the attic is allowed to dry and off-gas before re-insulation begins.
After full sanitization, we re-insulate your attic with the highest-performing materials available. We offer three options depending on your home’s needs and your goals: blown-in cellulose or fiberglass for a cost-effective restoration to code-compliant R-value, spray foam for maximum air sealing and the highest R-value per inch, and a hybrid approach that combines air sealing at penetrations and the attic deck with blown-in insulation over top for the best balance of performance and value.
Every re-insulation job includes air sealing of all ceiling penetrations — plumbing, electrical, HVAC — before new insulation is installed. This is the step most companies skip, and it’s what separates an insulation job that delivers real energy savings from one that just meets minimum code.
what we solve
health risks
Attic pest contamination is not just a structural issue — it is a direct health risk to your family. Rodent droppings and urine contain multiple pathogens including hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. When contaminated insulation is disturbed — even by normal home HVAC operation — these particles become airborne and circulate through your living spaces.
Raccoon feces carry Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm parasite with potentially serious neurological effects in humans. Bat guano accumulates into material that harbors Histoplasma capsulatum, the fungal pathogen that causes histoplasmosis when inhaled. These are not theoretical risks — they are documented public health concerns that the Oklahoma Department of Health takes seriously.
Proper attic remediation — complete removal of contaminated insulation, professional sanitization, and sealed re-installation — eliminates these risks completely. Partial cleanup or leaving contaminated insulation in place does not.

FAQ
The most common signs are sounds from the attic — especially at night — unexplained energy bill increases, musty or foul odors, and droppings near the attic access hatch. Our free inspection will confirm or rule out an active infestation.
Cost depends on the size of your attic, the severity of contamination, the species involved, and the re-insulation option you choose. We provide a detailed written estimate after our free inspection. Most attic pest remediation and re-insulation projects in Oklahoma City range from moderate to significant investment — but the cost of not addressing it compounds quickly through energy loss, continued structural damage, and health impacts.
Yes. That is our specific expertise. We remove the pests, remove the contaminated insulation, sanitize the attic, and re-insulate with high-performance materials. Most pest companies cannot do the insulation work. Most insulation companies will not enter a pest-active attic. We do both, which means you deal with one company, one process, and one warranty.
Pest removal and exclusion typically takes one to two weeks to ensure full activity has ceased before we proceed with insulation removal. Insulation removal, sanitization, and re-installation is usually completed in one to two days depending on attic size. We give you a specific timeline during your consultation.
