Rodent exclusion service

Rodents may be one of the most stubborn pests when it comes to getting rid of them. Each year, rodents invade approximately 21 million homes in the United States, putting the health and safety of people, families, and pets at risk.

With our exclusion service, you won’t even be giving rodents a chance to find a way into your home. Exclusion - or rodent-proofing services - involves sealing any cracks, gaps, holes, and crevices in your home to stop rodents from entering and infesting your property. Rodent exclusion is the easiest and most cost-effective way to control rodents.

What is exclusion in pest control?

Exclusion is blocking off entry points that pests, particularly rodents, use to enter your home. 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.

Why do I need rodent exclusion?

Rodent exclusion services keep you and your family safe and healthy. 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.

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 thorough inspection. Our certified specialists will assess your home for possible entry points and signs of rodent activity inside and outside the property.

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.

What does Ehrlich's rodent exclusion service include?

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.

With our exclusion service, a certified specialist will perform a full inspection of your home — inside and out — providing a detailed rodent prevention plan. Areas needing exclusion may include some of the following preventative solutions:

• Install door sweeps on garage doors and exterior doors around your home and replace weather seals.
• Seal all entry points from the interior of your home and your garage.
• Seal all entry points from the exterior of your home using sealant to repair cracks, crevices, and pipe intrusions.
• Install dryer and stove vent covers to exterior/interior fan vents.
• Seal all entry points from your attic and install mesh gable and attic vents to the attic area.
• Install plumbing caps on any accessible pipes.
• Install a chimney cap to prevent rodents, birds, and other wildlife from entering.
• Deodorize and replace damaged insulation.

Whether you are experiencing rodent activity inside your home or noticing it nearby, our rodent exclusion service keeps rodents outside where they belong, providing you with peace of mind that you are protected.
