Why Exclusion Beats Trapping
In Bloomington and Monroe County, traditional pest companies often rely on bait stations that require monthly fees and never solve the root problem. Our specialists focus on Rodent Exclusion—a structural approach that seals the holes mice and rats use to enter your home.
Mice can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime, and rats only need the size of a quarter. We use industrial-grade steel mesh, hardware cloth, and metal flashing to proof your foundation, roofline, and utility entries permanently.
1. Full Inspection
We identify every active and potential entry point from the crawl space to the ridge vents.
2. Steel Proofing
Sealing gaps with chew-proof materials like heavy-gauge hardware cloth and galvanized steel.
3. Scent Removal
Neutralizing pheromone trails and droppings to prevent new rodents from being attracted to your home.
Rodent Exclusion FAQ
What is rodent exclusion?
Exclusion is a permanent repair process that focuses on the building's envelope. Instead of just setting traps, we seal every gap and crack in the foundation and roofline that rodents use to enter.
How small of a hole can a mouse fit through?
A common house mouse can fit through a gap only 1/4 inch wide—roughly the size of a dime. Rats only need a hole the size of a quarter. This is why professional-grade steel materials are required for a permanent fix.
