Rodent service
Rodent Proofing in Los Angeles, CA
Sealing every opening a rodent can use, in steel and mortar. This is the part that ends the problem instead of managing it.
Exclusion is a repair, not a service
Rodent proofing, exclusion, in the trade, is physical work on the building. Every opening a rodent can use is closed with material it cannot chew through: galvanized steel mesh, sheet metal, hardware cloth and mortar. Not foam, not caulk, not steel wool pushed into a hole.
That distinction is the whole point. A monthly bait service is a subscription; the rodents keep arriving and you keep paying. Exclusion is a one-time repair to your house, and once it is done properly the route is gone.
It is also the only part of this work that can honestly carry a 100% money-back guarantee. We can stand behind a sealed opening because it is a physical thing we can come back and look at.
What gets sealed
Attic and gable vents get re-screened to a rodent-proof mesh. Crawl space vents and access doors get the same. The roofline gets closed at the eaves, and on tile roofs the open ends of the first course get blocked. The standard we work to is the one UC agricultural research sets: anything larger than a quarter of an inch gets sealed, because that is the threshold that excludes both rats and mice.
Every service penetration, plumbing, gas, electrical conduit, HVAC ducting, the dryer vent, gets packed and collared. Garage door seals and door sweeps get replaced where they have worn, because a worn sweep is a permanent quarter-inch gap.
Where the building is not the whole problem, we say so: limbs and heavy vine touching the roof are an entry route, and a perfectly sealed house with a branch on it is still reachable. Sewer line entry, where it exists, is a different repair and gets identified separately.

The rest of the work
Rat Control
About half the rat jobs here are roof rats, which climb in above your head through the roofline, the attic vents and the trees touching your eaves. Most of the rest come up through the plumbing, which is why we look at both before quoting anything.

FAQ
Rodent Proofing: common questions
Do you seal the house before or after trapping?
Before. The entry points are sealed first so nothing new gets in, and then we trap and monitor what remains inside until the space is confirmed clear. Trapping an open house means catching rodents while more keep arriving.
Will the sealing work be visible from the street?
Mostly not. Vent screening sits behind the existing vent face, and penetration work is at ground level or in the eaves. Where something will be visible, we show you before we do it.
What exactly does the 100% money-back guarantee cover?
We do the opposite, and we put our name on it. Every job is covered by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee: we solve it, or you don’t pay. No renewal, no monthly fee, and nothing to keep paying for while the problem carries on.
