If you’re in the middle of a home sale or purchase, the last thing you want is a surprise in the attic. Whether it’s scratching noises, droppings, or a nest tucked behind insulation, wildlife activity can bring negotiations to a halt. At MB Wildlife Control, we take the time to fully investigate animal issues and offer solutions that work — especially when there’s a real estate transaction on the line.
Why Buyers and Sellers Should Take Attic Wildlife Seriously
For many buyers, an attic isn’t just unused space — it’s a clue about how well the home has been cared for. Discovering signs of animals up there can raise questions and stall the process, sometimes permanently.
Here are a few common issues we come across:
- Torn insulation or chewed wires
- Foul odors from urine or droppings
- Trampled or flattened ductwork
- Evidence of nesting animals like raccoons, squirrels, or rodents
- Strange noises during showings or home inspections
Even if the problem seems minor, it can raise big concerns for buyers — and lead to negotiations falling apart if not handled correctly.
MB Wildlife Control Brings Real Estate Experience to Every Inspection
A lot of wildlife companies are great at removing animals. Fewer understand the fast pace and sensitive timing of a home sale. That’s where we’re different.
At MB Wildlife Control, we’re used to working alongside realtors, buyers, sellers, and home inspectors. Our owner is also a licensed Real Estate Agent. We know how to move quickly and professionally while providing the clear documentation and expert insight that real estate transactions demand.
What we offer:
- In-person attic inspections (not just guesswork)
- Detailed findings, often with photos
- Realistic recommendations — no scare tactics
- Flexible scheduling to match closing timelines
Real Story: Don’t Fall for Phone Quotes
Recently, we were contacted by a buyer who had just received a quote from another wildlife company. The problem? Evidence of ringtails in the home’s attic. The estimate? Replace all the attic insulation. Cost? Several thousand dollars.
The catch? The company had never visited the home — they gave the quote over the phone.
We stepped in to take a proper look. The damage was limited and fixable — a fraction of the cost quoted. We gave the buyer peace of mind, and the seller avoided a major (and unnecessary) repair.
Takeaway: You can’t diagnose attic issues without a thorough, in-person inspection. Blanket quotes often do more harm than good — especially in the middle of a home sale.
