How can I insulate ceilings without major construction?

I have recently found out that there is no insulation between our first and second floors in my house. Upstairs is always pretty warm but we didn't find out until we heard mice scurrying and had the exterminator in and he told us the area wasn't insulated. With the winter coming, and having oil heat I would like to keep some of the heat on the first floor. Is there any way to insulate without having major construction?


Answer:
I have been building for over 25 yrs and only insulate between floors when noise reduction is desired. If heat loss to the second floor is a problem for you try closing off the second floor. Perhaps install a door at the foot of the stairs and keep it closed when you want the first floor warmer. Good luck :)
