Evaluate the affected area
The amount and location of droppings, nesting material and contamination determine what work is reasonable.
Rodent Clean-Up & Sanitation
Clean Up After Rodent Activity—When the Home Needs It.
Rodent activity can leave droppings, nesting material and odor behind. Clean-up is added when the condition of the affected accessible areas calls for it.
What we look for
Rodent Clean-Up & Sanitation
The inspection is about connecting what you are hearing or seeing inside with the openings that may exist outside.
Clean-up and sanitation are separate from proofing unless they are specifically listed in your estimate.
Removal of accessible droppings and nesting material
Cleaning of affected surfaces
Sanitation procedures
Deodorizing when applicable
Where this fits
A service should make sense in the whole rodent-proofing plan.
The work changes by home, but the order is consistent: understand the activity, address the access and handle what remains.
Clean accessible surfaces
Remove debris and sanitize the areas included in the approved scope.
Separate insulation decisions
Insulation removal or replacement is discussed separately when the condition calls for it.
Questions
About Rodent Clean-Up & Sanitation
The exact work depends on the home, the entry points and the areas we can safely access.
Does every attic need clean-up?+
No. Some homes need proofing and trapping only. Clean-up depends on the amount and location of droppings, nesting material and contamination found during the inspection.
Do I need to replace attic insulation?+
Not always. If insulation is heavily contaminated or damaged, removal and replacement can be discussed separately. Many homes do not need full insulation replacement.
Is clean-up included with rodent proofing?+
Not automatically. Clean-up and sanitation are separate from proofing unless they are specifically listed in your estimate.
What is rodent proofing?+
Rodent proofing means finding the openings rats and mice use to enter a home and sealing them with durable, rodent-resistant materials.
What is rodent exclusion?+
Rodent exclusion is another name for sealing a home against rats and mice. We generally use the term rodent proofing because it is easier for homeowners to understand.
What kinds of openings do you seal?+
Common areas include roofline gaps, coves, vents, garage door corners, utility penetrations and gaps around foundations, stucco or siding. The exact scope depends on the inspection.
