What Cupertino homeowners book
Based on our finished jobs in Cupertino, rodent proofing is booked most here, then attic cleanup and sanitizing and sealing the openings outside. Garage cleanup and sanitizing and removing old insulation also come up more often here than elsewhere in the Bay Area.
A finished Cupertino job
On a Cupertino job we sealed the vents, eaves and roof gaps, set traps, cleaned and sanitized the crawl space and the garage, and laid a vapor barrier over the soil under the house. A vapor barrier belongs on clean ground, so the crawl space is cleaned and sealed first.
The garage counts too
Garages are a common way in: rodents squeeze past the corners of the garage door and gaps around pipes. Rodent proofing closes the gaps at the garage door corners, and inside the garage we take out droppings and nests and sanitize the area. More in keeping rodents out of the garage.
Sealed with steel mesh
Every entry opening we find is closed with galvanized steel mesh, putty and concrete. The CDC notes a mouse can fit through a hole the width of a pencil, so we seal the small gaps too, and you get photos of every opening we find.
Traps and the follow-up visit
For rats and mice we set traps where the signs show they travel; for larger animals we seal the openings so they can’t get back in. We come back at least two weeks after the job to check the traps. Rodent proofing comes with a warranty.
Sealing, the garage and the crawl space can all go on one quote. The free inspection in Cupertino covers the attic, the crawl space, the garage and the openings outside, and the written quote is usually ready 30–60 minutes after the inspection, the same day at the latest.
