Common Houston entry points
Callers often mention roofline gaps, soffit openings, vents, weep holes, garage-door gaps, utility penetrations, crawl access points, and places where pipes or AC lines enter the building. Older homes, new construction near retention ponds, and properties near bayous or wooded corridors may need extra attention.
Exclusion is not just “plugging holes”
Good exclusion work depends on understanding active routes, using materials rodents cannot easily chew through, and timing repairs so indoor activity is handled instead of trapped.
Residential and light commercial concerns
Restaurants, warehouses, strip centers, and small offices may need a different conversation than a single-family home. Describe the building type and whether food storage, dumpsters, loading areas, or shared walls are involved.
Common questions
Can I seal holes myself?
Small gaps can sometimes be temporarily blocked, but rodents chew through weak materials. If activity is active, call before sealing large routes.
Does exclusion replace trapping?
Not always. Many jobs need inspection, control, and exclusion working together.
