Baits and traps deal with the rats and mice already inside, but new ones will keep coming if the way in stays open. Rodent proofing in Bridgeman Downs closes those gaps. A mouse can squeeze through a hole the width of a pencil, and a rat needs only a little more, so the work is about finding the small openings people tend to miss. We give you an upfront price and book a local crew.
The crew we book checks the outside walls, the roof line, the garage and the areas under sinks and behind appliances. Common gaps include holes where pipes and cables enter the house, weep holes in brickwork, gaps under garage doors, unscreened vents and broken eave boards. Older brick homes often have a few of these gaps at once. Depending on what they find, the work may include:
- Steel mesh or wool packed into gaps around pipes
- Weep hole covers that still let the wall breathe
- Mesh over vents and subfloor openings
- Brush or rubber strips on garage doors
- Sealing gaps at eaves and roof joins
Proofing works well alongside rat and mouse control. The baiting clears out the rodents that are already there, and the proofing stops the next lot from moving in. Many households ask for both on the same visit, which saves a second trip. The crew will show you each spot they sealed before they leave. Cooler months are when rodents push hardest to get inside.
