Attic is somewhat isolated part of the house and that is why it is the most vulnerable part where the wild animals and rodents can intrude and build their nests. Usually they build their nests in order to pass the winter season because most of the rodents and some wild animals hibernate during winters. Due to the isolated nature of attic of a house, it is considered the most favorite part of all the animals and they invade this portion in the first priority. These animals not only invade and build nests over there but they also damage the attic flooring and insulation. The floor of attic is most susceptible because the animals like raccoons, opossums, rats and squirrels scratch the surface of attic flooring. Usually the floor is made from plywood which can be easily scampered and scratched by the nails of these animals. As a result the floor of attic can be badly damaged and sometimes it is torn by large animals like opossums. Similarly some places which can serve as the points of entry for the animals are also torn and damaged badly so that they can easily enter and exit through these places. In short attic is the portion which is most vulnerable to damage by these animals.
