Rodent Exclusion & Entry-Point Sealing in San Francisco.

Exclusion is the part most services skip, and it is the part that actually keeps rodents out. A rat walks back through the same opening within a week of being trapped. Seal that opening and the cycle breaks.

A local technician inspects the whole envelope of the home, finds every gap a rodent can use, and closes it with materials they cannot chew through. In San Francisco's older homes, that means foundation vents, roof junctions, utility penetrations, and the gaps that open as a house settles on a hill.

What this service includes

• A full inspection of the home's exterior and crawlspace
• Sealing of foundation and gable vents with steel mesh
• Closing of gaps around pipes, cables, and conduit
• Sealing roofline and eave junctions where roof rats enter
• A written note of what was sealed and where

Signs you need it

• Rodents keep returning after past treatments
• You can see daylight through foundation or attic vents
• Gaps around pipes where they pass through walls
• Tree limbs or wires touching the roofline
• A home that has never had its entry points sealed

Why it is different in San Francisco

Settling is constant on San Francisco's hills, and additions built onto original frames leave gaps where the two meet. A technician who knows local construction finds these spots that a general sweep would miss.
