🍂 Seal Before the Cold Nights

October and November are when rats and mice push hardest to get indoors. Sealing gaps before they move in is far easier than trapping and cleaning up after. Call → schedule an exclusion visit

Why Exclusion Matters

Why Sealing Is the Part That Lasts

Every rodent problem that comes back comes back through a gap. Mice fit through openings about a quarter inch wide and rats through roughly half an inch, so a home can have dozens of possible entry points: where pipes, AC lines and cables enter, at soffit and fascia joints, around roof and crawl space vents, and under garage doors. In coastal Georgia, humidity and storms loosen trim and tear screens over time, opening new gaps.

This service is for sealing. If rodents are already active inside, trapping comes first so none are sealed in; see rodent control. If the house is clear, or you want to stop a problem before it starts, exclusion is the right place to begin.

What is rodent exclusion?

Rodent exclusion is sealing every opening rats and mice can use to get into a building, using durable materials like heavy steel mesh, metal flashing, vent guards and door sweeps. It's the long-term part of rodent control that stops new rodents from replacing the ones that were trapped.

How much does rodent proofing cost in Hinesville?

Exclusion is quoted in writing after an inspection, based on how many entry points need sealing, roofline height, and whether vents or garage door seals need replacing. You'll see the full list before any work starts.

Why not just use spray foam?

Rodents chew through expanding foam quickly. Foam can be used behind mesh or metal as a filler, but on its own it's a temporary patch.

FAQs

Rodent Proofing FAQs — Hinesville, GA

How small a gap can rodents use?

Mice can fit through about a quarter inch and rats through roughly half an inch, so small gaps matter.

Should I seal before or after trapping?

After. If rodents are inside, sealing first can trap them in the walls or attic. Trap until activity stops, then seal.

Does spray foam keep rodents out?

Not on its own. Rodents chew through foam. Steel mesh, metal flashing and vent guards are durable.

Will sealing block my home's ventilation?

No. Vents get guards that keep airflow while blocking rodents.

How long does exclusion last?

Properly sealed points hold up well, but storms, settling and landscaping can open new gaps, so periodic checks help.

Can you seal a home while we're deployed?

Yes. Exterior work doesn't need anyone home, and you'll get a written report.

Do trees near the roof matter?

Yes. Roof rats climb limbs to reach the roofline. Trimming them back is part of the plan.

Do you seal businesses?

Yes, including restaurants, warehouses and offices with food storage.
