What Santa Clara homeowners book most
Based on our finished jobs in Santa Clara, rodent proofing is what homeowners here book most, then attic cleanup and sanitizing and sealing the openings outside. Attic cleanup is also booked more often here than in the rest of the Bay Area.
A finished Santa Clara job
On a Santa Clara job we sealed the ways in, inside and out, cleaned the attic and the crawl space, and replaced the damaged insulation with new batts. Sealing stops new rodents; cleaning removes what the old ones left; the new batts replace what they ruined.
Where we look
The CDC notes a mouse can fit through a hole the width of a pencil, about 1/4 inch. We check vents, eaves and roof gaps, gaps around pipes and AC lines, the garage door corners, crawl space vents and the foundation, and the paths through the walls between the attic and the crawl space. You get photos of every opening we find.
What we seal with
Every entry opening we find is closed with galvanized steel mesh, putty and concrete, the same materials inside and outside the house. See sealing outside openings.
Traps and the follow-up visit
Traps catch the rodents already inside. We come back at least two weeks after the job to check them. Rodent proofing comes with a warranty.
