Why Rodent Exclusion is Important

Even if you don’t see or hear the tell-tale signs of a rodent infestation, rodent proofing your Berkeley-area home ensures the rodents stay excluded because they are persistent:

It's estimated that there is about one rat for every human, but it could possibly be more, as scientists can't be sure.
Nearly 14.8 million housing units of the approximate 124 million in the U.S. have reported seeing rodents in the last 12 months, with most of these in major city areas.
Though grown rats can be as big as 1 pound and up to 20 inches, they can squeeze through holes as big as dimes due to their collapsible rib cage.
Because these dime-sized holes are easily missed to the untrained eye, it's often difficult for homeowners to properly defend against the rodent infestation themselves.
