The presence of rodents in the attic of a home can be a serious problem leading to several negative consequences. One of the most significant dangers posed by rodents is the risk of fire. Mice and rats are notorious for chewing on electrical wiring, which can create a fire hazard. This can seriously threaten the home’s and its occupants’ safety. Not to mention that this habit of chewing stuff can also mean that your personal belongings are damaged beyond repair.
Another problem caused by rodents in the attic is contamination. Pests like rats and mice leave droppings everywhere they go. In the attic, this can contaminate the insulation and stored items. Not only does this create an unpleasant odor, but it can also spread diseases affecting humans and pets alike. That’s why removing the rodents as soon as possible is so important.
Rodents transmit harmful bacteria and parasites via droppings, urine, or bites. A telltale sign of rodents is the smell caused by their droppings and urine, which can be challenging to eliminate. Removing the rodents and cleaning the attic thoroughly is the only way to get rid of these unpleasant odors and restore the area to its original state, which is where our team comes in.
Removing rodents or pests from your attic isn’t something that just about anyone can do. Also, removal only partially addresses the problem; the solution is to make it impossible for rodents and other critters to infiltrate the attic again.
Why Hire A Professional Rodent Proofing Service?
Homeowners face many challenges when removing rodents from their attic or property. While some people may try to handle the situation independently, hiring a professional attic rodent-proofing service is often best.
First and foremost, professionals like The Attic Doctors have the expertise and experience to handle rodent infestations effectively. We know how to identify the type of rodents present, assess the extent of the infestation, and determine the most effective removal methods.

If anything, you don’t have to worry about them damaging your personal belongings and insulation any time soon.
Hiring Our Attic Rodent Proofing Service Orange County Versus DIY
While DIY methods may seem cheaper in the short term, they can lead to frequent treatments and ongoing damage if not done correctly. We have been called by homeowners many times who have tried to rodent-proof their attics but have failed to succeed. In many instances, they did more damage than much good. Often the damage is much more than what our rodent removal and proofing service costs.
As a professional service, we provide a permanent solution to prevent further damage, saving time and money in the long run.
Rodent Proofing Procedures
Rodent proofing can be one of the most challenging jobs for professionals like us. However, we pay close attention to every detail and understand how rodents operate. This allows us to offer foolproof rodent-proofing services.
The first step to effectively rodent-proof any attic is to pack it up. You will want to seal up any entry points. In addition, food and cardboard should be sealed tight so rodents aren’t motivated to enter the attic.
While rodents can enter through attic vents, we make it so that it is more complicated than it ever was for them. We use metal meshes and caulking to make it harder for mice to enter. Plus, these are designed so that it’s tough, if not impossible, for rats to squeeze through the space. We also need to seal all entry points without touching the attic vents.
Smaller holes and cracks are filled with steel wool and other seals that rodents can’t chew through. Our approach has, over the years, proven to be the best, as many of our clients report that rodents didn’t return even after years of installing these measures.

If there are strange smells in your home, or you hear strange noises from the attic, like scratching, there is a 99% chance that you’ve got a rodent problem.

Fortunately, if you have a rodent problem, we can help you. We don’t just evict these critters from your home but make them so they don’t return.
Our job may seem simple, but years of doing this have proven otherwise. These rodents have become smarter, and we’ve had to stay one step ahead. Fortunately, they haven’t been able to undo our rodent-proofing measures!
