Keep your crawl space safe from rodents! Our professional exclusion services provide effective solutions for a healthier home environment.
Perform inspections during seasonal transitions, particularly in late summer and fall, as rodents often seek shelter indoors as temperatures drop. Spring inspections are also useful to address any issues that developed over winter.
If you notice signs of rodent activity in your home, such as unusual noises, droppings, or foul odors, schedule an immediate inspection of your crawl space to address the problem promptly.
After any home renovations or changes to the structure that could affect entry points, inspect the crawl space to ensure that new gaps or vulnerabilities are sealed.
If you previously had a rodent problem, increase the frequency of inspections to ensure that the issue has been fully resolved and that no new rodents have gained access.
In areas with high rodent activity or where your property is close to natural habitats, more frequent inspections may be necessary to prevent infestations.
Regularly inspecting these potential entry points and sealing them effectively can help prevent rodents from accessing your crawl space and causing damage.
Steel wool is highly effective at blocking small gaps and holes. Its coarse texture discourages rodents from chewing through it, and it can be used in combination with other sealants for enhanced protection.
Metal flashing, such as stainless steel or aluminum, can cover gaps and cracks around foundation walls, vents, and other openings. It’s durable and resistant to rodent gnawing.
Our metal building insulation services can help reduce energy costs and improve indoor air quality for your business. We use the highest quality materials and advanced insulation techniques to ensure reliable protection against heat, cold and noise.
High-quality caulking, especially those designed for exterior use, can seal gaps and cracks in walls, around pipes, and other small openings. Look for caulks with a silicone or polyurethane base for the best performance.
Expanding foam sealants are useful for filling larger gaps and voids around pipes, vents, and other entry points. They expand to fill spaces and harden to create a solid barrier that rodents cannot easily penetrate.
For larger holes or gaps in foundation walls, concrete or mortar can be used to create a solid, durable seal. These materials are particularly effective in areas that are prone to weathering and wear.
Installing rodent-proof mesh or screens over vents and other openings prevents rodents from entering while allowing for ventilation. Ensure the mesh is made from stainless steel or heavy-gauge galvanized wire.
Copper mesh can be used in smaller gaps and cracks. It’s durable and rodents cannot chew through it. Copper mesh is often used in combination with other sealants for a comprehensive approach.
Some specialized products are designed specifically for pest control, such as rodent-proof barriers that combine multiple materials for enhanced effectiveness.

While some basic exclusion tasks can be done DIY, hiring a professional is often recommended. Professionals have the expertise to identify all potential entry points and use specialized materials and techniques to ensure effective rodent control.
If you find evidence of an infestation, address the problem immediately by removing rodents and their nests, cleaning up contamination, and then implementing exclusion measures to prevent future infestations.
Ensure that all potential entry points are sealed, maintain cleanliness in the crawl space, manage moisture levels, and consider using rodent-proof barriers or screens over vents and openings.
