While most people don’t enjoy spending much time in their attic or crawl space, rodents and other pests can’t get enough of the dark quiet spaces in your home. Attics and crawl spaces are warm, protected, and full of soft, comfortable insulation that rats and mice love to curl up into.
If you have seen any pests or noticed the tell-tale signs of an infestation, it’s time to call Attic Projects for professional rodent removal and proofing. Our rodent proofing experts will remove the waste and damage that rodents leave behind, sanitize the entire space to eliminate any odors that will attract rats and mice back to your home, and block off any entry-points to prevent a future rodent issue. Best of all, we back all of our work with a 10-year warranty so you can sleep soundly knowing that your rodent problem is eliminated for good!
While rodents may prefer to stay confined to the attic or crawl space, there are a number of signs that you can look and listen out for in the living areas of your home to detect a potential infestation:
Rodents and other pests can squeeze themselves into the tiniest holes, cracks, and crevices around your home. Common rodent entry points include holes around your foundation, attic and crawl space vents, gaps underneath your doors, unsealed spaces around utility or A/C lines, damaged soffits, or even through floor drains.
During our thorough attic and crawl space inspection, we will check all of these common entry points and locate any holes, dime-sized or larger that will need to be sealed off during our rodent proofing process.
Although rats and mice are often small and may seem like they can’t do much damage to your home, the truth is that these little rodents can do thousands of dollars worth of damage to your attic and living space if left untreated.
Rodents will chew through anything, from drywall to electrical wires to food storage containers. Chewed electrical wires present an extreme fire hazard, and attics full of insulation and debris create an ideal spot for fires to spread unimpeded.
Speaking of insulation, rodents love to dig and burrow to build nests in the soft material. They urinate and defecate in the insulation, destroying the protective nature of the insulation and leaving scent that attracts more rodents to enter your home.
According to the UC Statewide IPM Program, rats and mice can enter through openings larger than 1/4 inch, which is why an inspection and sealing process is important step in preventing rodents from entering your home.
Rodents can carry harmful bacteria, dangerous diseases, and allergens that cause respiratory issues and illnesses. If you find rodents in your home, you need to get the problem eradicated right away!
Rodents and their infectious diseases should not be taken lightly. The diseases can lead to fatal respiratory problems for humans. Mice and rats can carry and spread 35+ diseases. Whether you are handling alive or dead rodents, feces, urine, bites, or saliva, you have to be extremely careful and cautious — which is why it should be left to the professionals.
Rodents that are infected, can infect people with fleas, mites, and ticks! Some even carry ringworms and tapeworms that people can contract.
The most common diseases that are transmitted include:
Although mice and other small animals can seem cute, they are hazardous to your health.
Removing harmful decaying rodents, or live rodents, without the proper equipment can be harmful. Rodent removal should not be your Saturday DIY project. Poisons and traps are only temporary and won’t prevent the rodents from returning.
At Attic Projects, we take care of the problem for good. We’re so confident in our ability to solve your rodent problem, that we back every job with a 10-year warranty – the Longest Warranty in the Industry.
Rodent-proofing your home begins with a thorough inspection of your attic to identify all of the points of entry that the rodents use to get into your home. We will seal the areas off so that no rodent or animal will get access to your home again.
When our professionals make your attic rodent-proof, they also remove all damaged insulation and inspect every wire, piece of drywall, and any other contaminated area that could have been chewed or soiled. Our team employs only innovative rodent-proofing techniques to make sure your attic never has another rodent living in it. Rat-proofing and mouse-proofing are essential to keeping a healthy home, and we’re here to get the job done.



To achieve a permanent rodent-proofing solution for your attic, you should hire a professional because these experts can identify and correct potential entry points that an untrained eye may overlook. If every vulnerability is not properly sealed, rats can easily re-enter a space if they can find small openings.
Our professionals at Attic Projects employ comprehensive strategies, such as sealing gaps, installing protective barriers, and implementing exclusion methods to ensure rodents are not only removed but also prevented from returning
Common initial signs of a rodent infestation include droppings, gnaw marks on wires or wood, and strange noises such as scratching or scampering. Unpleasant odors and nests made from shredded materials also indicate a rodent presence. If you recognize these signs early, you can prevent further infestation and damage.
Rodent-proofing, when conducted by reputable professionals, is generally safe for your family and pets. Our professionals at Attic Projects use methods designed to prevent rodents from entering the home without harming residents. Non-toxic materials and humane traps may be employed during rodent removal, ensuring that the process is environmentally friendly and does not introduce hazardous substances into your living space.
However, it’s important to communicate any specific concerns or sensitivities with our professionals beforehand so we can tailor our approach appropriately.
While our rodent-proofing is highly effective, as our team employs only innovative rodent-proofing techniques to ensure your attic never has another rodent living in it, routine inspections and maintenance are advised to ensure ongoing effectiveness. Weather conditions, wear, and tear, or new vulnerabilities may arise over time, making it essential to address any potential issues promptly.
Contacting our team at Attic Projects to periodically inspect and reinforce rodent-proofing measures can provide continued protection against infestations and secure the long-term integrity of your attic. This service is included in our standard 10 year warranty. Regular maintenance can also catch and address any new rodent activity before it becomes a larger problem.
