🛠️ Rodent Proofing (Preventative Rodent Control)  Why It Matters

Rodent proofing is the process of sealing and securing a property to prevent entry by rats, mice, and other rodents. It’s a critical step in long-term pest prevention and protects both residential and commercial properties.

Why Rodent Proofing Is Important

• Prevents chewing damage to wires, pipes, insulation, and food packaging

• Reduces risk of health hazards, including disease and contamination

• Saves money on repeated pest control treatments

What Rodent Proofing Involves

• Inspecting the building for access points

• Sealing holes, cracks, vents, and gaps under doors or roofs
