Residential Rodent Proofing in Berkeley & Surrounding Areas

Your home provides shelter and protection. When you have a rodent or pest infestation, it can take away your comfort and safety. Rodents will chew through wiring, cause structural damage, leave unsanitary waste, and spread serious diseases. To protect your home, you need a reliable pest control company.

Alley Cat is a family-owned business specializing in rodent control, rodent proofing, sanitation, and waste removal. Our specialists have the latest technology and techniques to safeguard your home.

If your home has no rodent infestation now, rodent-proofing is a sound investment to ensure your home is protected.

What Is Rodent Proofing?

Mice, rats, and other rodents can crawl through small holes or cracks in your home. They reproduce quickly and spread disease through urine, saliva, and droppings. Rodent proofing secures all rodent entry points.

As part of the process, Alley Cat professionals use HEPA vacuums to remove any rodent remains and waste. We also sanitize with non-toxic, hospital-grade supplies. If needed, we discard and replace infested building materials.

As a result, your home gets cleared of any current infestations and secured against future infestations.

Contact Alley Cat to learn more about our rodent-proofing services.

Initial Inspection

We make sure to check every room of the house from the attic to the crawl space with our rodent exclusion team. We look for all vulnerable entry points and assess the infestation. From here, we provide you a free estimate along with our action plan.

  • The traps are clear
One way we check to make sure the rodent proofing solutions are working is to see the traps we left. If the traps are clear, the rodents have been removed and excluded from the property and the defense measures are remaining strong and effective.

  • Rodents still in traps
If there are rodents in the traps, it could mean that either the rodents were still in the home while we proofed OR they found a way back inside. If it is the later case, we will keep returning to check, reseal, and implement new traps until the rodents are fully cleared and no trace of them can be found for up to 3 years.

  • Inside the Home

The interior of the home is very attractive for rodents. It’s a source of food and warmth. Because of their short legs, rodents are prone to hypothermia and will always conjugate in warm areas such as the kitchen, under the dishwasher, next to the oven, or in the attic with all the insulation.

  • Electrical Wiring

Rodent teeth constantly grow, like our nails. Just as we have to cut our nails often, they gnaw at items such as electrical wiring to keep their teeth short and sharp. These chew marks on electrical wiring can lead to costly and hazardous fire risks.

  • Health & Safety

Where rodents eat and sleep, they most likely also leave droppings. These rodent droppings are potential sources of diseases such as Hantavirus and salmonella that, if not disposed of properly, can lead to long-term health consequences for the family.

Why Rodent Proofing Is Essential

If your home isn’t rodent proofed now, it can be a welcome beacon for future unwanted roommates. And once they move in, the health and financial costs can escalate quickly.

Rat Proofing
  • One rodent leaves about 1,000 droppings in two weeks, creating diseases such as Hantavirus and salmonella.
  • Rodents chew on anything, including electrical wires, to keep their teeth short and sharp, increasing the chances of a fire.
  • Rodents can reproduce starting at four to six weeks old and produce 32 to 84 babies in one year. A small rodent infestation can triple quickly.

The best time to start rodent proofing is when you don’t have a rodent infestation.
It saves you health and financial costs and gives you peace of mind. Start today by scheduling a free inspection.
