01
Inspection
We walk the building inside and out with flashlights and inspection mirrors, checking drop ceilings, crawl spaces, cooler lines, and dock doors. Thermal imaging cameras find rodent runs inside wall voids where you cannot see them. A standard commercial inspection takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on square footage.
02
Exclusion Sealing
We seal every entry point we found with copper mesh, steel wool, exclusion sealant, and a caulking gun. Gaps around pipes, vents, and conduit get packed and sealed. Dock doors get door sweeps, roof vents get vent covers, and open chimneys get chimney caps. This is the step that ends the problem instead of chasing it.
03
Population Removal
Inside, we set snap traps and glue boards along known travel routes and lock bait stations in tamper-resistant housings where only technicians can reach them. Outside, we treat the perimeter. Most active infestations drop to near-zero catch counts within 10 to 14 days.
04
Sanitation and Repair
Once the rodents are out, we remove droppings, disinfect contaminated surfaces, and deodorize the space. Damaged insulation gets replaced with rodent-proof insulation. If rats chewed wiring or ductwork, we document it so your electrician or HVAC contractor knows exactly what to fix.
05
Monitoring and Reporting
We come back on a set schedule, check every device, refresh bait, and log catches. You get a report showing what was caught, where, and what changed. If catch counts spike, we know within one visit cycle instead of finding out when a customer complains.
