Rodent Entry Points

    30 Year Old Problem A Jet-Out addition was built on this house approximately 3 decades ago, and was built over the front stoop. This was the primary entry point of decades of issues.
  • Active Entry Point
    Active Entry Point This is the bottom side of a poorly sealed over-hang.
  • Active Entry Point of Mice, 3 Stories Up
    Active Entry Point of Mice, 3 Stories Up This would appear to be an entry point for bats given its height and location, but mouse droppings were located at the entry point. The brown stains below the entry spot are a "Grease Spot" where the rodents fur continually drags over a surface in one area

    Chew Hole From Adjoining Garage Mice continue to sense and move towards warmer parts of your structure. In this case they made their way into the garage and then chewed into the house through a base board.

    Probable Entry Point Gaps like this one well hidden under a dryer vent are perfect spots for mice to get inside.

    Rat Nest This nest was removed from under a dishwasher. Rats had taken steel wool from various parts of the home following a DIY attempt to exclude them and used it as a base for their nest.
  • Small Drip
    Small Drip This is an unused lawn sprinkler line that has been shutoff but still drips. There is an entry point two feet to the right of this. Mice now have two of their three needs met. Water and Harborage.
  • Under Screened in Porch
    Under Screened in Porch This was the sill plate under an add on 4 seasons porch. The sill plate had been compromised during construction and was never sealed off.
  • Underground Utilities Service Entrance
    Underground Utilities Service Entrance When Electrical power is brought in from underground the conduit can separate over time. This is an easy entry point for mice.
