Do you seal entry points? What does “exclusion” involve?

Exclusion means keeping rodents out for good. During your inspection, we document gaps, cracks, and openings that allow entry—many are smaller than you would expect. Mice can squeeze through holes the size of a nickel. Common areas include utility and plumbing penetrations, missing or worn door sweeps, loose weatherstripping, dryer and foundation vents, soffits and roofline gaps, garage thresholds, and siding edges. You will receive a clear punch list with the right materials for each gap: steel or copper mesh plus high-quality sealant for small openings; hardware cloth or metal flashing for larger ones; mortar, escutcheon plates, or chimney caps where permanent fixes make sense. We can advise on vent screens and recommend adjustments around the exterior—like trimming vegetation that creates hidden runways. Complete these items and you will dramatically reduce new intrusions, protecting the results of your interior/exterior treatment. Exclusion pays for itself by stopping the cycle of re-infestation. Pair it with our follow-ups, and you get what matters most: long-term relief, not a temporary pause.
