The feces of raccoons contain miniature roundworms and the eggs of these worms. They can last for a long time in a hot dry attic, even when the feces have dried out. When you go into the attic, dust is stirred up and permeates the air. If you breathe these particles, they will get into your lungs and infect your system. The worms can migrate throughout your body into the brain, your eyes, etc. Serious health issues can result, even death can occur.
The best way to deal with this problem is to hire professionals. Have them use bio-hazard procedures to remove all of the insulation, the feces, etc. Proper disposal will be taken care of by the bio-hazard team.
Your current insulation will be filled with urine. It will also be compressed providing much less insulating value than it was originally designed to provide. Installing new insulation and upgrading to current standards will also help you save on your heating and cooling bills.
Do not risk your health, hire a professional team to remove the raccoons and keep them out as well as to remove the soiled insulation.
