Why Montpelier homes get rodents

The homes near the Lake Erie, the Ohio River, and rivers and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you seal the entry points or just trap?

We do both. Trapping removes the active rodents, and exclusion seals the building so new ones cannot get in. A trap-only job leaves the door open for the next invasion.

Q: How long does exclusion take?

A typical home is sealed in one to two visits, depending on the number of entry points. The work is done with steel mesh and caulk at every gap the inspection finds.

Q: Is rodent control dangerous for pets?

Traps and stations are placed in tamper-resistant boxes out of reach of pets and children, and the products are used per the label. We point out the placements during the service.

Q: How much does rodent control cost in Montpelier?

Inspection and trapping run $200 to $500 in Montpelier, with exclusion work from $300 to $1,000 depending on the number of entry points. A full attic cleanup runs higher because it involves removing the droppings and the insulation.

Q: How do rodents get into Montpelier homes?

Mice fit through a gap the size of a dime. They come through pipe penetrations, vents, garage doors, and gaps in the foundation, and in the fall they move indoors ahead of the cold.
