Our process includes
Signs of Rodent Infestation
Damaged Structures
Rodents chew through wood, insulation, and drywall, leading to weakened structures and costly repairs. Look for gnawed materials or holes in walls as a warning sign.
Chewed Wires
Rodents gnaw on electrical wires, creating serious fire hazards. Frayed or damaged wires can signal an infestation and should be addressed immediately.
Droppings
Small, dark droppings are a clear sign of rodent activity, often found near food or hidden areas like the attic or crawl space. Fresh droppings indicate recent activity.
Strange Noises
Scratching or scurrying sounds at night, especially in walls or ceilings, often indicate active rodents moving through your home.

Inspect Your Property Regularly
-
Walk around your property and inspect the foundation, roofline, vents, and crawl spaces.
-
Look for small openings as tiny as 1/4 inch, as rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps.
-
Common entry points include gaps around utility pipes, loose vents, cracks in siding, and roof openings.
Tip: Use a flashlight and mirror to check hidden area​​
​
Keep Indoor Areas Clean & Dry
-
Rodents are attracted to cluttered, dark, and damp spaces — especially basements, crawl spaces, and attics.
-
Store items in sealed plastic bins, not cardboard.
-
Fix any leaky pipes or moisture problems immediately. Moisture draws rodents and insects.
Key areas to watch: Under sinks, behind appliances, and in the garage.
​
​
​
Seal All Entry Points
-
Use rodent-proof materials like steel wool, metal mesh, or concrete to seal holes and gaps.
-
Install weather stripping on doors and windows, especially garage doors.
-
Cover vents and chimneys with mesh screens (1/4" hardware cloth recommended).
Avoid: Foam-only sealants. Rodents can chew right through them.
​
Schedule Preventative Inspections
-
Don’t wait for signs of an infestation — proactive inspections by professionals can identify hidden vulnerabilities.
-
Experts can assess entry points, nesting signs, and environmental factors that could invite rodents.
Frequency: At least once a year, or seasonally if you’ve had rodent issues before.
​
​
​
Remove Attractants Outside
-
Keep garbage cans tightly sealed and away from your structure.
-
Trim back overgrown vegetation and remove woodpiles or debris stacked near walls — they provide shelter.
-
Clean up pet food, fallen fruits, or bird seed regularly.
Landscaping tip: Keep a clear 2-foot perimeter between exterior walls and plants.
