Rodent Control/Exclusion

The reason rodents come into our homes is for food, water, and shelter. Unless all of these attractants are removed, they will continue to inhabit their current location. Trapping is not effective unless combined with a full exclusion process. As long as rodents have access to their food and water sources, they do not have a reason to be lured to the traps and therefore removed from the home.

Rodents are incredibly resilient and will continue to look for new avenues of entry to homes unless all potential entry points are sealed. If we only seal a few places where they are currently entering, they will simply find another entry point. Our rodent exclusion repairs seal all existing and potential rodent entry points to the home.

A full rodent exclusion includes sealing all possible rodent entry points from the foundation to the roofline. In order to make sure our process is as thorough as possible, a Certified Nuisance Wildlife Operator will be present during the repair process. Our exclusion process requires a full crew, ladders, materials such as metal flashing, wire mesh, and foam, as well as the trapping process. The initial fee includes as many trapping visits as it takes to ensure all rodents are removed from the home. The first year of your renewable Rodent Warranty is also included in the initial fee. Ask your PestNation Specialist about a possible payment plan if needed.

Our Rodent Exclusion Warranty includes all potential rodents, not just the type of rodent living in your home uninvited right now.

Most repairs will not be visible once completed. Our process includes installing metal at the gutter line that is then covered by your existing shingles. In some areas, such as crawl spaces or areas of rotten wood, wire screening may be visible once completed. If you are concerned about a particular repair being visible, make sure you ask your PestNation Specialist.

Our prices are competitive with companies following a similar protocol as us. If a quote is significantly cheaper than ours, it is probably due to a reduced scope of the service. We do offer discounts for customers who have multiple services with our company. Ask a PestNation Specialist about any discounts you may qualify for.

As long as the renewable warranty is maintained, we will come back and fix any areas that may need repair. Some rodents are more aggressive than others and may find a way to chew through our repairs or find another area to chew through. If so, we will repair those areas and start the trapping process again – at our cost!

The first-year warranty is included in the initial fee. Most homes qualify for a renewable warranty. At the time of the renewal inspection, our Nuisance Wildlife Operator will inspect the home to make sure no new rodent entry points have developed over the last year. If so, we will repair any areas and begin a trapping process when needed. If you choose not to renew your warranty, you will incur the cost of any new rodent entry point repairs, as well as the trapping process. This cost typically ranges between $400 - $500 but can be higher depending on the circumstance.

We will need to inspect the interior (typically the attic, basement, and/or crawl space), as well as set traps at some point during the repairs. We ask that you be home for at least 45 minutes during the repairs.
