Kill the rodents. They love to chew off insulation.

Not only do they love to chew on house wiring, their chewing presents a significant risk of causing a house fire. That's one of the main reasons for riding them from your attic or other places through which your electrical wiring passes.

Are neighbors allowed to keep squirrels in their attics?

People usually don't keep squirrels in their attics - the squirrels usually get inside without them knowing the animals are there. Squirrels in an attic can be very harmful - they tear up things and leave droppings and urine and can cause disease. You should let your neighbors know that they need to call animal control to get rid of the squirrels.


How do you get your attic fan to blow upward?

Roof exhausters come with the motor and fan matched for upward exhaust. The fan blade should "cut" into the attic air when turning. Whole house type attic exhausters generally are belt driven and have a motor that is reversible. To reverse the motor remove the wiring plate. The back side of the wiring plate will have a diagram of how to reverse the rotation of the motor by changing wiring connections. Hope this helps.
