Why Rodent Exclusion Matters
21 Million Homes Invaded
Rodents infiltrate homes across America every year, bringing destruction and contamination that threatens your family's well-being and your property's value.
Serious Health Threats
Dangerous diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis spread rapidly through rodent droppings, urine, and contaminated surfaces in your living spaces.
Fire Hazards & Damage
Rodents constantly gnaw on electrical wiring to keep their teeth trimmed, creating dangerous fire risks and causing thousands in repair costs throughout your home.
Prevention is Key
Exclusion tackles the root cause by permanently sealing entry points, stopping rodents at the source rather than endlessly battling infestations after they occur.
The True Cost of Rodent Infestations

Insulation Replacement

Recurring pest control costs that add up without permanent exclusion
Beyond financial costs, families experience significant emotional stress and anxiety living with persistent rodent problems. Children may develop fears, sleep disruptions occur, and the constant worry about health risks takes a toll on household well-being and quality of life.
How Rodent Exclusion Works: The 3-Step Process
Comprehensive Inspection
Certified specialists conduct a thorough examination of your entire property, meticulously identifying every potential entry point from foundation to roofline, including tiny gaps rodents exploit.
Professional Sealing
Expert technicians seal all vulnerabilities using industrial-grade materials like steel wool, metal mesh, rodent-proof door sweeps, and vent covers that withstand persistent chewing attempts.
Preventative Maintenance
Follow-up inspections and proactive maintenance ensure your exclusion barriers remain intact, providing long-term protection and peace of mind that rodents stay out permanently.

DIY Rodent-Proofing: 4 Simple Steps You Can Take Today
01
Remove Attractants
Secure all garbage in rodent-proof containers with tight lids. Store pet food in sealed metal or heavy plastic bins. Trim tree branches and vegetation at least 3 feet away from your home's exterior to eliminate rodent highways.
02
Locate Entry Points
Conduct a thorough inspection inside and outside your home, searching for any openings as small as a dime. Check foundations, utility line entry points, door frames, window gaps, and areas where different building materials meet.
03
Exclude and Repair
Seal discovered gaps using heavy-gauge wire mesh, steel wool, or copper mesh that rodents cannot chew through. Install metal door sweeps on exterior doors and secure covers over vents, dryer exhausts, and plumbing openings.
04
Maintain Vigilance
Schedule regular monthly inspections of your home's perimeter and vulnerable areas. Immediately repair any new gaps or damage. Keep detailed records of sealed areas to track your exclusion efforts over time.
