Rodent service
Rodent Proofing
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.

Rats get in either over your head or under your feet, depending on the species. Both routes get found, and both get closed.

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?
If rodents return through an area we sealed, we come back and deal with it at no further cost. Confirm the current written terms with us when you book, this page describes the guarantee as the business states it, and the paperwork is what governs.
How much does rodent control cost?
It depends on how the rodents are getting in, how far the activity has spread, and what has to be repaired to stop it for good. A small, single entry point on a newer home is a different job from an older house with an open crawl space and a contaminated attic.
It starts with a free phone estimate. Where the source is not obvious, the next step is the Entry Point Diagnostic, which is what establishes how they are getting in. You’ll know the recommended scope of work and pricing before moving forward with the next phase.
Do you use poison?
No. We don’t use rodent poison inside your home. Poison can leave a rodent dying in an inaccessible wall or ceiling cavity, creating odor and potentially attracting flies — and it still doesn’t solve the most important problem: how the rodent got inside in the first place.
Our approach is different. We find the entry points and seal them first. Then we use specialized trapping systems and rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to quickly and efficiently eliminate what remains inside and verify activity has stopped.
Find it. Seal it. Trap & monitor it. Solve it for good.
How do you remove rodents from inside walls and ceilings?
We specialize in fast removal of rodents living inside walls and ceilings. After we locate their entry points and seal them, we strategically deploy our specialized trapping and monitoring systems.
One of those systems is our patented Rat Vac trapping device, which is designed to extract multiple rodents using a single bait setup — with capacity for up to 60 mice or 33 rats.
The rodents are captured in a self-contained system, helping keep the trapping process contained and away from children and pets. We also use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to track activity and help confirm when the problem has been eliminated.
No poison in your walls. No guessing. Find the entry point. Seal it. Then get them out — fast.
How long does the whole job take?
Every job is different depending on the entry points, structure of the home, and level of rodent activity. We’ve successfully solved some rodent problems within just a few days, while more complex cases can take a bit longer.
Our goal is to solve your rodent problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
What does your 100% money-back guarantee mean?
It means we stand behind our work. If you hire us to solve your rodent problem, we confirm the source of the infestation, complete the recommended work, and if we don’t solve the problem, you get your money back.
That’s also why we use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas. We don’t just set traps and assume the problem is gone — we monitor rodent activity to help verify that the problem has been resolved.
Our goal is simple: find how they’re getting in, seal the entry points, eliminate what remains, and solve the problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
Guarantee subject to the terms of your service agreement and completion of the recommended scope of work.
Do you handle the cleanup and contaminated insulation?
Yes. Once the rodent problem is resolved, we remove droppings, nesting materials and contaminated insulation where needed. We then clean, sanitize and deodorize affected areas using TwinZyme, our professional-strength enzyme treatment designed to break down rodent-related organic waste and odors.
Insulation can also be replaced where necessary.
We don’t just remove the rodents — we help remove what they left behind.
