Rodent exclusion is the second step in our proven four-step process. The appointment where an exclusion technician to seal all entry points around your home or business follows the initial inspection. Your exclusion technician will follow the detailed map in the rodent exclusion report your inspector created to seal all identified entry points.
While doing so, the technician will also check the trapping systems set up in the initial inspection. If necessary, they will remove any mice and rats caught in the traps and reset them. And once this work is complete, Eastside can proceed to help you with long-term protection from mice and rats. We even offer rat slab installation in Seattle to keep rodents out permanently.
Effective rodent exclusion for homes and businesses demands extensive knowledge of how rats and mice behave, and what they’re capable of. Moreover, it requires an understanding of typical construction practices in order to make the best use of rodent-proof materials. This is why our technicians must complete a 12-week course learning the ins and outs of the process.
The Eastside Exterminators’ exclusion course includes a mix of classroom education and on-the-job training. We cover everything about rats and mice themselves, best practices for repairing entry points, and the proper installation of exclusion systems. This ensures our team knows how to handle challenges that are different from one structure—and species—to the next. All this is to say that rodent exclusion doesn’t simply mean going around a structure slapping on a few screens—there’s science behind what we do, and we apply it to our entire system.
