Mice and Rats

With over 20 years of professional experience in exclusion services, I have seen firsthand the numerous ways rodents can infiltrate homes. These creatures are incredibly adept at squeezing through small openings, often unnoticed by homeowners. Common entry points include gaps around windows and doors, holes in walls or foundations, and areas where utility lines enter the home. Rodents can also gain access through roof vents, chimneys, and even cracks in the exterior of the building. It’s essential to recognize that rodents can enter through openings as small as a quarter of an inch, meaning thorough inspections are critical in identifying all potential entry points.

While trapping may seem like a quick solution to rodent infestations, it only addresses the symptoms rather than the root cause. Trapping does not prevent future rodent invasions. Without addressing the underlying issue—sealing all entry points—new rodents will inevitably find their way inside, leading to recurring problems. A comprehensive exclusion approach focuses on finding and securing every potential access point, thereby ensuring that rodents cannot return once they are removed. This method is far more effective than relying solely on traps, as it offers a long-term solution that provides peace of mind to homeowners.

As a professional in exclusion, my goal is not only to eliminate the current rodent population but to safeguard homes against future infestations. By thoroughly inspecting the property and implementing a complete exclusion strategy, addressing “how” they are getting in will provide that peace of mind. This proactive, holistic approach allows homeowners and businesses to rest easy, knowing that their home and structure is protected against rodents now and in the future. With my extensive experience, I can confidently say that exclusion is the most reliable and lasting solution for rodent control.
