If rats or mice have moved into your home or yard, you may be wondering what you can do to get rid of these pesky rodents. Mice and rats can chew through drywall, electrical wiring, insulation, plastic pipes, wood, and metal to establish a nest inside the walls of your home or in your attic. Once they have made themselves at home, these pests will breed and create dozens of offspring. In the yard, these rodents can quickly dig up and destroy lawns, gardens, and shrubs.

An effective way to keep rats, mice, and other rodents from gaining entry to your home or other structure is rodent proofing. Specialized Pest Patrol offers a comprehensive rodent proofing service as a way to keep these pests out of your home.

What is Rodent Proofing?

Rodent proofing involves using wire mesh and other materials to cover or fill in openings in your home or other structure that rodents may use to gain entry. Many rodents can slip through even the smallest gaps in your roof, eaves, around doors and windows, or other areas of your home without you even knowing it. By sealing up these holes, rats and other rodents will be kept outside and unable to damage your home or other structure.

Another aspect of rodent proofing is identifying areas of your yard that may be contributing to a rodent problem. Overgrown trees that are touching your roof or sides of your home can provide rats, mice, and other rodents easy access to your structure. Piles of wood and other materials can be places where rodents set up nests. Bushes and shrubs that are not trimmed at least six inches from the sides of your home can give rodents a place to hide while entering your building.

A trained rodent proofing technician from Specialized Pest Patrol can inspect your home and property and identify problem areas.
