  3. TrappingRodents still inside are trapped and removed, which avoids dead animals in the walls.
  4. CleanupDroppings and contaminated insulation are removed.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does rodent exclusion cost?

Most homes pay $400–$2,000, depending on size and the number of gaps.

Why not just use poison?

Poisoned rodents often die inside walls, causing odor, and new rodents keep coming in through the same holes.

Do you remove mice in the attic?

Yes. Trapping, sealing and attic cleanup are part of the service.
