Trapping vs. Rodent Proofing

Trapping and rodent proofing solve two different problems. One removes rodents already inside; the other addresses how they got there.

Trapping handles what is inside

Traps are used to remove rats or mice that remain in the home after activity has been identified.

Proofing closes the way in

Rodent proofing focuses on the openings around the roofline, vents, garage, foundation and utilities that allow new rodents to enter.

The best plan can use both

When active rodents are still inside, sealing and trapping work together: close the access and remove what remains.

What happens during a rodent entry point inspection?+

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.

Do you inspect the roof and attic?+

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.

Will you show me the entry points you find?+

Yes. We explain the problem areas we identify and use photos where appropriate so you can understand what needs to be sealed.

Does every inspection lead to the same work?+

No. Every home is different. The recommended work depends on the entry points, activity, access and conditions found at that property.
