The primary objective of a rodent inspection is to identify vulnerabilities in the structure of your home or business that allow rodents to enter. These entry points could include gaps in walls, poorly sealed doors or windows, damaged vents, and cracks in the foundation. Rodents are incredibly adept at squeezing through small spaces—mice in particular can enter through openings as small as a dime. By identifying these weak points, we can effectively seal them off to prevent further infestations.

In addition to identifying entry points, inspections provide critical information about the species of rodents present. Each type of rodent may have different behaviors and preferences for nesting, food, and water sources, which is why understanding the specific species in your building is important. For instance, house mice prefer nesting near food sources, while roof rats often seek shelter in higher areas like attics. Knowing which rodent you’re dealing with helps in tailoring the most effective removal and prevention strategy.

During the inspection, our experts also pinpoint key sheltering areas where rodents may be nesting or hiding. These areas might include attics, basements, storage rooms, and crawlspaces, where rodents can find insulation or debris to create nests. Once these spots are located, we can target them for extensive trapping, and thereafter clean-up and sanitization. Our team looks for sources of food and water, as cutting these sources off, if possible, can make your property less attractive to rodents.

By addressing these structural issues and improving overall conditions, we can create a rodent-free environment for your home or business. Our inspection and subsequent remediation work not only remove current infestations but also protect your property from future ones with our best in class rodent control program.
