Attic Rodent Exclusion

Rodent exclusion involves identifying and sealing entry points to prevent rodents from entering your attic and other parts of your home. It includes inspecting for gaps, cracks, and other vulnerabilities, and then sealing them effectively. 

Rodent exclusion is crucial because it prevents rodents from entering your home, which helps protect against damage to insulation, wiring, and structural elements, as well as reduces health risks associated with rodent droppings and urine. 

 Rodents can enter through small gaps or cracks in walls, eaves, vents, and rooflines. They can also squeeze through gaps around pipes, wires, and vents that enter the attic. 

To prevent rodents, seal all potential entry points using materials such as steel wool, caulking, or hardware cloth. Ensure vents are properly covered and repair any gaps around pipes or wiring. 

While some basic exclusion tasks can be done yourself, hiring a professional is often recommended. Experts can conduct a thorough inspection, accurately identify entry points, and use effective sealing methods to ensure long-term results. 

Regular inspections, at least once a year, are recommended to check for signs of rodent activity and ensure that exclusion measures remain effective. Inspections should be more frequent if you notice any signs of infestation or damage.
