Rodent Proofing

What is rodent proofing and why choose a specialist?

Rodent proofing is the only treatment that offers long term protection against rodent re-infestations. Infestations arise when rodents find their way into a building through gaps and holes in the building structure and/or damaged drainage systems. Proofing involves identifying these rodent access points and filling them with suitable materials.

Mice can fit through holes as small as 5mm, which means rodent proofers need to be highly specialised in identifying all entry points throughout a site. We only use suitable materials which rodents aren’t able to chew their way through. Materials such as expanding foam, whilst cheap and readily available, are easily chewed through by rodents. Often, we are called to remedy ill-proofed buildings in which non-specialised builders have used incorrect materials or missed non-obvious cavities. Our rodent proofer has considerable experience, working across a range of sites in and around London including restaurants/bars, pubs, warehouses, theatres, hotels, domestic properties, commercial units/bin stores and more.

We work in close partnership with other trusted professional pest control firms who refer their clients to us for specialised pest proofing. Once referred, we work with them to provide a tailored wrap around service. Rodent proofing is becoming increasingly central to the role of ridding a building of a rodent infestation due to legislation becoming stricter around the use of rodenticides.

We offer both reactive and preventative pest proofing. If there is already a rodent infestation, reactive proofing is needed for a long term solution. A successful riddance will be required to ensure rodents don’t get trapped inside the building. Prevention is often better than cure, so we also offer proofing to sites which don’t currently have a rodent infestation to drastically lower the risk of a future problem. We can work alongside builders during a refurbishment to ensure non-obvious potential issues are resolved before completion of the refurbishment.

Our Process

We will first arrange a phone call to discuss your concerns and learn about any pest control services recently completed and/or any recent building work at the site. We will work with you to find a suitable time for our pest proofer to attend the site and complete a full site survey. You will be provided with a full site report outlining any riddance treatment requirements, proofing needs and a proofing quote. We are unable to provide a quote for rodent proofing at commercial properties without a full site survey.

Our technicians wear company uniforms, carry photo ID cards and always show these before entering a site. Our vehicles are unmarked so we can provide a discreet service to our clients.

Regarding guarantees

Due to the nature of the work, we are unable to provide guarantees however, we pride ourselves on delivering long term solutions. Our site reports outline clear instructions with actions required prior and after any proofing work is completed to ensure rodent free environments. For maximum efficiency of rodent proofing, it is key that these are followed. If you are still seeing issues after taking all advised steps, we will provide free follow up proofing visits until the issue is resolved.
