Wood Pest Pros — The bug stops here, and peace of mind starts now.

Our rodent exclusion methods target the access points rodents use, creating a durable barrier that prevents future infestations and keeps your home safe year-round.
Rodent Exclusion Services for Southern Michigan Homes and Businesses
Rodents are highly skilled at entering homes and commercial buildings through even the smallest openings. A mouse can squeeze through a gap as small as 1/4 inch, while rats can exploit weak points in foundations, siding, rooflines, and utility access areas. Once inside, rodents can cause serious damage by chewing wires, contaminating food, destroying insulation, and spreading harmful bacteria.
Wood Pest Pros offers professional rodent exclusion services designed to keep rodents out for good. Unlike short-term trapping alone, exclusion focuses on sealing entry points and correcting structural vulnerabilities so pests cannot re-enter once removed. This long-term approach provides lasting protection and peace of mind.
How Rodents Enter Homes
Rodents are opportunistic and take advantage of any structural weakness. Common entry points include:
- Gaps around doors, garage frames, and weatherstripping
- Foundation cracks or settling gaps
- Openings around pipes, vents, and utility lines
- Damaged crawlspace access doors
- Roofline gaps, soffit openings, and attic vents
- Unsealed chimneys or dryer vents
Once inside, rodents build nests in attics, basements, wall voids, and insulation, making exclusion essential for long-term control.

Rodent Exclusion (seal-ups and entry prevention) - Frequently Asked Questions
Rodent Exclusion (seal-ups and entry prevention) Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is rodent exclusion?
Rodent exclusion is the process of sealing entry points and structural gaps to prevent mice and rats from entering your home or business. It is the most effective long-term rodent control method.
How do rodents get inside?
Rodents enter through gaps in doors, siding, foundations, rooflines, vents, and utility access points. Many openings are small enough to go unnoticed by homeowners.
Do I still need trapping if my home is sealed?
Yes. Trapping removes rodents already inside, while exclusion prevents new ones from entering. Both services work best when combined.
How long does rodent exclusion last?
Exclusion provides long-lasting protection. Most materials last for years, though normal home settling or weathering may require occasional maintenance.
Is rodent exclusion safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Exclusion involves sealing structural gaps with safe materials—no chemicals are used during this process.
Can I seal rodent entry points myself?
DIY sealing may help temporarily, but rodents often find hidden or difficult-to-access gaps. Professional inspection ensures all vulnerabilities are properly identified and sealed.
Will sealing entry points improve my home's energy efficiency?
Absolutely. Sealing gaps reduces drafts and air leaks, often improving heating and cooling efficiency.
How quickly can Wood Pest Pros provide service?
