Find the openings
Start with the roofline, attic, garage and exterior to understand how rodents may be getting in.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Seal the Openings Rats and Mice Use to Get In.
We inspect the home for rodent entry points, then seal the openings included in your estimate with durable materials matched to each area.
What we look for
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
The inspection is about connecting what you are hearing or seeing inside with the openings that may exist outside.
We pay close attention to openings around one-quarter inch and larger, then match the material and repair method to the roofline, vent, gap or penetration being sealed.
Roofline and tile roof openings
Roof and bonnet vents
Garage door corners and transitions
Utility, foundation and stucco gaps
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.
Seal the way in
Proof the entry points listed in the estimate with materials matched to each opening.
Handle what remains
Add trapping, clean-up or follow-up only when the home needs it.
Questions
About Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
The exact work depends on the home, the entry points and the areas we can safely access.
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.
How small of an opening matters?+
Mice can use very small gaps, so we pay close attention to openings around one-quarter inch and larger. The repair still depends on where the opening is and how that part of the home is supposed to function.
Do you proof tile roofs?+
Yes, when the problem area can be safely accessed. Tile roof transitions, coves, vents and roof-to-wall areas can all require close inspection.
Can rats enter through roof vents?+
Yes. Damaged screens and unprotected vent openings can become entry points. The repair should make the opening rodent-resistant without preventing the vent from doing its job.
