  2. Why Rodent Proofing Matters Health Risks Property Damage Rodents carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans, including hantavirus and salmonellosis. Rodents can gnaw on wires, pipes, and even structural components of your home, causing costly repairs.

  3. Identifying Entry Points Gaps & Cracks Vents & Chimneys Look for gaps around pipes, windows, doors, and foundation cracks. Ensure vents and chimneys are properly sealed with screens or mesh. Doors & Windows Inspect door frames, window seals, and screens for gaps.

  4. Sealing the Exterior Caulk Steel Wool Seal gaps and cracks with weather-resistant caulk to prevent rodent entry. Use steel wool to fill holes in walls, floors, and around pipes. Rodents cannot chew through it. Mesh Screens Install fine-mesh screens over vents, chimneys, and foundation openings.

  5. Protecting the Interior Cleanliness Trash Control 1 2 Clean up spills promptly and store food in airtight containers. Securely seal garbage cans and dispose of trash regularly. Nesting Sites 3 Eliminate clutter and potential nesting spots in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
