Most homeowners only know about the obvious gaps. A real exclusion inspection
finds the ones rodents actually use — and most aren’t visible from the ground.
Roofline & attic
Up high
Gable vents & ridge vents — squirrels and rats chew through stock screening
Soffit/fascia joins — gap where the roofline meets the wall is a roof-rat highway
Dormer flashing — gaps form as the home settles, almost always near a dormer
Chimney caps & flues — missing or damaged caps invite raccoons, bats, and squirrels
Foundation & ground level
Down low
Plumbing penetrations — gaps where pipes enter the slab or crawlspace are mouse-sized
Crawlspace vents — rusted-out screens are an open door for possums and skunks
Garage door bottom seal — worn weather stripping leaves a 1/2″ gap mice exploit
Utility entries — A/C lines, electrical, gas, and cable entries are rarely sealed properly
We map every one of these on the inspection — and find the ones specific to your home that aren’t on this list.
WHY WE SEAL
Removal isn’t the fix. Sealing is.
The animals are out today, but the entry points are still open. Sealing — with the
right materials, on every gap — is the only thing that actually ends the problem.
Removal alone is a band-aid
The trapped animals are gone. The structural gaps that let them in are still there.
New rodents and wildlife follow the same scent trails and physical openings back in
within weeks — every time. Removal without sealing is temporary by design.
Poison fails three ways
Poisoned rodents die inside walls (smell, mess, weeks of cleanup). The structure
stays unchanged, so new rodents arrive. And there’s real secondary-poisoning risk
to pets, owls, and wildlife. The cheap option ends up the costlier one.
Monthly contracts depend on the cycle
Recurring pest-control plans bill every month because they don’t fix the structure.
Each visit treats the symptom and leaves the cause. We do the one-time structural
work that breaks the loop entirely — one job, written guarantee.
Excluder Device Installation is the only fix
Until specific gaps are physically closed with hardware cloth, steel mesh, and rated
sealants — not stock window screen or latex caulk — the same entry points keep
re-opening. Our Excluder Device Installation uses commercial-grade
materials on every gap. Sealing is the actual fix, not a maintenance plan.
THE WRITTEN GUARANTEE
Plain English, no fine print.
Most exclusion warranties read like an insurance contract designed to deny you.
Ours is the opposite — written so a homeowner can read it in under two minutes.
What’s covered
The terms
1-year warranty on every entry point we sealed
If a sealed point fails, we come back and re-seal it — no service fee
If a NEW entry opens (animal finds a different way in), we charge for the new sealing — but inspect the original work for free
Warranty transfers if you sell the home within the year
No exclusions for “acts of nature,” storms, or vague conditions — if we sealed it, we stand behind it

“I highly recommend Texas Rodent. They were professional, honest, and easy to communicate
with from start to finish. We had rats getting into our attic, and they found every entry
point, sealed everything up, and handled the whole process humanely. They explained
everything clearly and never tried to push us into a long-term contract. We haven’t had a
single issue since. Definitely give them a call!”

“I can honestly say I highly recommend Texas Rodent. The guys were so professional and
communicative. I had an issue with squirrels and a raccoon getting in my attic and they
humanely relocated them and sealed everything up. No more problems! There was no pressure
to sign any type of contract etc like I’ve experienced with other companies. Definitely
call them. They are on it!”

“Texas Rodent did an amazing job. We had squirrels getting into one of our rental
properties, and their team showed up quickly, communicated well, and took care of the
problem the right way. They humanely removed the animals, sealed the access points, and
made sure we understood what was done. No pressure, no upselling, just solid work. I’d
definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with rodents or wildlife.”
