Rodent exclusion: sealing the house for the long term

Exclusion is the permanent part of rodent control. It means finding and sealing every gap a rat or mouse can use.

Rodent proofing means finding and sealing the rodent entry points on your house so new rats and mice can’t replace the ones you trapped.

Call if you notice:

  • Rodents keep coming back after trapping
  • Gaps at the roofline, vents or AC lines
  • Trees and vines touching the roof

How it works

  1. Call

    Tell us what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. Photos help.

  2. Inspection

    A technician checks the house, crawl space or basement, attic access and yard, and finds the source, not just the symptoms.

  3. Your plan

    You get the treatment options that fit your home, what each involves, and the factors that set the cost, before any work starts.

  4. Treatment & follow-up

    Targeted treatment, practical fixes you can make, and follow-up visits where the pest needs them.

Frequently asked questions

Is spray foam good for rodent-proofing?

Foam alone is easily chewed. Use metal mesh or flashing, with sealant as a backing or finish.

Can I seal the gaps myself?

Small gaps at ground level are a reasonable DIY job with metal mesh and sealant. Roofline gaps, ridge vents and soffits are harder to reach safely, and the main challenge is finding every gap, which is where a professional inspection helps.

Does rodent exclusion need maintenance?

Yes. Storms, settling, roof work and new cable or HVAC lines can open new gaps. A yearly check of the roofline and foundation keeps the house sealed.
