Summer is just around the corner! That means weekend getaways, bonfires, and making the most of cottage season. But before you kick back and relax, there’s one place you might be forgetting to check…. your attic!
Over the winter, your attic can turn into a hidden hotspot for pests, bacteria, and even some unpleasant surprises. Ignoring it could lead to serious health risks. So, what’s really lurking above you?
Animal Droppings & Bacteria Yikes!
Mice, squirrels, and other little critters love sneaking into attics to escape the cold. But they don’t just hang out. They leave behind droppings and urine, which can spread harmful bacteria and viruses into the air.
Something Smells Off?
Not all unwanted attic guests make it through the winter. Some don’t survive, leaving behind… well, their remains. This can lead to foul odors, attract even more pests, and mess with your cottage’s air quality. If you’ve ever caught a whiff of something funky, this could be why!
Is Your Insulation Still Doing Its Job?
Attic insulation doesn’t last forever. Most types have a lifespan of 20 years, but things like moisture buildup, animal activity, and gravity can wear it down faster. When insulation starts to degrade, your cottage can lose energy efficiency meaning your AC will be working overtime during the summer!
