Why Rodent Proofing Is So Important

A rodent infestation isn’t just an inconvenience—it can become a serious safety issue.

Rodents can:

• Chew electrical wiring, increasing fire risks
• Destroy attic insulation
• Contaminate insulation with urine and droppings
• Damage HVAC ductwork
• Spread bacteria and allergens
• Create unpleasant odors throughout the home

Professional rodent proofing helps stop these problems before they become expensive repairs.

Common Entry Points

5

Our technicians carefully inspect every area where rodents commonly enter, including:

• Roof vents
• Plumbing pipe penetrations
• Gable vents
• Soffit vents
• Roof edges
• Crawl space vents
• Foundation openings
• Utility penetrations

Rodents only need a very small opening to enter your attic.

Warning Signs You May Have Rodents

Don’t ignore these common symptoms:

✔ Scratching noises in ceilings

✔ Droppings in the attic

✔ Damaged insulation

✔ Chewed electrical wiring

✔ Strong ammonia odors

✔ Nesting materials

✔ Grease marks around openings

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for a professional inspection.
