🐀🦝 How Can Pests Like Rats and Raccoons Affect the Insulation and Efficiency in My Attic?
Unwanted attic guests can cause more damage than you might think. In this episode, we uncover how pests like rats, mice, and raccoons destroy attic insulation, contaminate your home, and quietly drive up your energy bills.
You’ll learn how nesting, tunneling, and droppings reduce insulation performance, create air leaks, invite moisture, and force your HVAC system to work overtime. We also explain the health risks, warning signs of pest activity, and why simply “removing the animals” isn’t enough to restore your home’s efficiency.
Discover what homeowners should do next — from proper attic inspections and insulation replacement to sealing entry points and restoring energy efficiency the right way.
If your home feels harder to cool or heat, smells musty, or your energy bills keep climbing, your attic could be the hidden problem.

🌬️🏠 How Many Air Exchanges Should Your Attic Have? Aim for 6+ per Hour
Aim for six or more complete air exchanges per hour in your attic. Different vent types deliver different rates: ridge vents ~2 exchanges/hour, whirlybirds 3–4/hour, and powered fans (e.g., a 30 W fan) can reach about 6/hour; sometimes multiple fans are needed.
Reaching 6+ exchanges (roughly one full air replacement every six minutes) improves heat removal and helps reduce humidity and moisture problems common in humid climates like Houston.
