Protect Your Home
from Mice and Rats

Mice, rats and the parasites that come with them can carry a number of diseases, such as Hantavirus, Listeria, Rat Bite Fever, and Salmonellosis. Some of these diseases can be potentially deadly to humans. Additionally, droppings, urine trails, dander, and hair from rodents can contribute to unhealthy and dangerous allergies. Even rat saliva can make people sick.

On top of the serious health concerns, rodents can also cause a lot of damage to your home or place of business. Rats will gnaw, chew, and burrow through wood, sheet rock, vapor barriers, insulation, and many other components of a structure. 

They can gnaw entry holes anywhere from ground level to your roof to gain access to crawlspaces, basements, and attics. Once they gain access to the structure, they can breed rapidly and quickly multiply the problems they cause for you and your family.

Rodent exclusion requires sealing off every entry point around a home or business. A mouse can squeeze through an opening as small as 1/4″ wide. Rats and mice have teeth that have evolved specifically for continuous gnawing.

They can gnaw through plastic, insulation, and soft wood. That’s why it is crucial that you get a thorough rodent exclusion inspection by a rodent exclusion specialist.

Keep Squirrels and Raccoons
Out of Your Home

While we specialize in mice and rat exclusion and control, we can also help you protect your home from squirrels and raccoons. Squirrels typically have the ability to jump farther than mice and rats and raccoons are generally much stronger. We have a lot of experience with these animals and we know how to keep them from entering your home.

Rodent Inspection

Bay Area Rodent Solutions owner Stanley Bapu conducts our rodent inspections himself. He is a licensed general contractor and pest control operator with 12 years of experience in pest control and 12 years of experience specializing in rodent exclusion.

He takes great care to inspect the entire home from top to bottom to identify all current and potential entry points for rats, mice, and other rodents.

The inspection includes: the exterior perimeter, any accessible decks and structures attached to the home, crawl spaces, basements, garages, roofs, attics and when necessary, the interior of the home.

He identifies and takes photos of all the rodent damage and entry points that he finds. He then provides a detailed report of his findings along with an estimate for any exclusion repairs, rodent removal, and sanitation that is required.

Rodent Exclusion Repairs

The next step is to make the necessary repairs to exclude rats, mice, and other rodents from entering your home or business. Our trained Exclusion Technicians make the necessary repairs following the detailed rodent report and diagram provided by the Rodent Inspector.

They carefully seal off all current and potential rodent entry points using rodent-proof materials such as galvanized steel screen, metal flashing, and concrete to keep rats and mice from re-entering your home.
