Rats and mice do not need much room. A rat fits through a gap about the size of a thumb, and a mouse through a gap the width of a pencil. Rodent proofing finds and closes those gaps so they cannot keep coming back in. Most homes can be proofed in one visit. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew that proofs homes across Flagstone.
The crew checks the house at ground level and along the roof line, and inside at the spots rodents tend to use. Common gaps include holes around plumbing under sinks, cable and air-conditioning line entries, gaps under external doors, worn garage door seals and open weep holes. Pet doors are looked at as well. On acreage, sheds that connect to the house are checked too.
- Steel mesh and sealant around pipes and cables
- Weep hole covers that still let air through
- Door sweeps and garage seals checked
- Roof line and vent gaps covered
- Subfloor gaps closed where the home is raised
Proofing pairs well with rat or mouse control, since baiting alone leaves the way in open for the next lot. The crew uses materials rodents find hard to chew through, such as steel mesh, metal flashing and hard-setting sealant. In new estates, proofing early can stop rodents settling in while building work goes on nearby. The crew explains each fix and its price before starting, and gaps that need a plumber or builder are listed for you.
