What is exclusion in pest control?

Exclusion blocks off entry points that pests, particularly rodents, use to enter your property. By sealing small openings, you create a barrier that prevents mice, rats, and other pests from gaining access to your property. Professional pest exclusion services are an essential preventive step in protecting your home from the threat of rodent problems.

How Ehrlich’s rodent exclusion service works

Rodent exclusion is a key part of long-term pest control. Instead of relying solely on traps, chemicals, and exterminators, our process includes sealing entry points and preventing future infestations. Our approach helps protect your home from rodents through a combination of inspection, exclusion, and ongoing prevention.

Step 1: Inspection

The first step of our pest control exclusion services is a free inspection. Our expert technician will thoroughly assess your home for possible entry points and signs of rodent activity inside and outside the property. From there, your technician will develop a customized plan for your home.

Step 2: Rodent exclusion

Once the inspection is complete, we seal any cracks, gaps, or holes we identified during the inspection. This is a crucial part of our rat and mouse control services. Whether it’s your attic, crawl space, or exterior walls, we’ll seal any potential rodent entry spots.

Step 3: Preventative measures and follow-up

Our rodent-proofing services don’t stop once the gaps are sealed. We provide ongoing preventative measures and follow-up services to protect your home against rodents. We always prioritize exclusion and chemical-free rodent control wherever possible.

Why do I need rodent exclusion?

Did you know that even the smallest opening on your property is a welcoming invitation for rodents to enter your home? A mouse can enter your home through a dime-sized hole, and a rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. Our exclusion service ensures that your home doesn’t have any of these rodent-sized entry points.

Rodent exclusion services help keep you and your family protected from the dangers that rodents can bring. Having rodents in your home poses potential health risks as they can spread pathogens that cause more than 35 diseases, including hantavirus and Salmonellosis. These diseases can be spread to humans by contaminated foods, handling live or dead rodents, or being bitten. Inhaling aerosolized rodent feces or urine, and rodent saliva also poses a risk. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread to humans indirectly through fleas, ticks, or mites that have fed on an infected rodent.
