Rodent Proofing Resource
Rats in an attic almost always started with an opening somewhere outside the home. The inspection is about finding that path.
Coves, roof-to-wall transitions, eaves, soffits and tile edges can leave small openings that are difficult to see from the ground.
Damaged screens or unprotected roof vents can create a direct path into attic space while still needing to remain properly ventilated.
Trees touching the house, utility penetrations and garage-to-attic connections can also help rodents reach the attic.

If you are hearing scratching, seeing droppings or finding signs of rodent activity, the next step is to find the actual entry points.
We check accessible areas of the roofline, attic, garage and exterior for signs of rats or mice and the openings they may be using. We explain what we find and use those findings to build the recommended scope.
When those areas can be safely accessed, yes. Rooflines, vents, coves, attic spaces and garage-to-attic connections are often important parts of a rodent inspection.
Yes. We explain the problem areas we identify and use photos where appropriate so you can understand what needs to be sealed.
No. Every home is different. The recommended work depends on the entry points, activity, access and conditions found at that property.
Rodent proofing means finding the openings rats and mice use to enter a home and sealing them with durable, rodent-resistant materials.
Hearing scratching? Finding droppings?
Seal it once. Seal it right. That’s the Integrity Way.
