How do you get rid of blown in insulation in the attic?

In: Sanitization and Germs [Edit categories]

Answer:

Suck it out! But, it doesnt need removing if it's rockwool blown insulation, you can just lay further fibreglass rolls over it to make the total thickness at least 10inches (current regulation). It WILL need removing if it's polystyrene beads as they attack cables and wiring over time and are obviously a fire hazard.
