Most recurring rodent problems come down to one thing: the entry points were never sealed. You can clear every mouse or rat in a property, but if the gaps that let them in are still open, more will follow the same scent trail within weeks. Rodent proofing, sometimes called rodent exclusion, closes those routes for good. It is one of our core specialisms and the reason our results last.
We start with a thorough survey to find every actual and potential entry point, because mice can fit through a gap the width of a pencil and rats exploit damaged drains and brickwork. We then seal these using robust, rodent-resistant materials suited to each location. This is not a quick squirt of filler. Effective mouse proofing and rat proofing is methodical work, and we explain exactly what we are sealing and why.
If you have been wondering how to stop mice coming in, the honest answer is that it takes a proper survey and durable exclusion work, not peppermint oil or shop-bought fillers that rodents simply chew through. Done properly, proofing protects the whole property rather than patching one hole while leaving others open.
We provide pest proofing in Bexleyheath, rat proofing in Bexley, and full rodent proofing across South London for both homes and businesses. As a local team, we know the common weak points in the area’s housing and where rodents tend to break in.
Wherever you are in our coverage area, a local technician is never far away, with out-of-hours and weekend appointments available. Proofing can be carried out as a standalone service or as the final stage of a treatment programme.
Rodent proofing, or rodent exclusion, is the process of finding and sealing every route mice and rats use to enter a property, using durable materials they cannot chew or push through. It stops infestations returning after treatment.
In most cases yes. Treatment clears the current infestation, but without sealing the entry points the property stays vulnerable. Proofing is what turns a short-term fix into a lasting one.
Yes. We assess for both, since they exploit different weak points. Mice target tiny gaps high and low, while rats often come through damaged drains and brickwork.
