Rat and Mice Exclusion
Like most other areas it is common to have a rodent problem in Nashville. Mice will live in your attic, walls, basements, and in any living space available. They can keep you up at night with their noise. They make their homes inside your home or building and will breed and cause damage year round.
A female mouse can live to 1 year and can produce over 70 offspring during her lifespan. In other words, if you have had a rodent problem and had them removed from your home, you want them to stay out for good. This is where exclusion comes in. Our goal isn’t just to get the rats or mice out of your home or business, we want to keep them out. What’s the sense in paying someone to remove rodents or other animals from your home or business if they’re just going to come back?
There are a variety of ways to address animal problems, but here at Rodent Pros, we only use methods, practices, and products that are humane and safe for your family and your pets. Keeping animals out of your home or business shouldn’t be cruel and unsafe, and it doesn’t have to be in order to be effective.
Without properly sealing entry points, removing feces and other health hazards, and repairing damage done by the animal intruders, the job is only half done. When you call on Rodent Pros for your wildlife exclusion services, we’ll take care of everything, from the removal of the animal to cleanup and home/office repair. We are there every step of the way.

What you can do to keep Rats and Mice away
Many homeowners want to know what they can do to prevent mice and rats from getting into their homes. There are some steps you can take to help keep them away. Keeping your lawn mowed and your hedges trimmed is a great place to start. Long grass and overgrown shrubs make great hiding places for rodents and they are often close to doors making it easy for these pests to enter the home. Also, eliminating food sources can be helpful.
Pet food should be brought inside. Never leave pet food in the garage or on a porch as an invitation for rodents. Keeping a clean kitchen will also work in your favor. Mice love kitchen counters and pantries. Remember to clean regularly so mice will not have anything to get into.
Remember, mice are excellent climbers and can squeeze through a hole only a ¼ in size which makes permanent exclusion a difficult task. Keeping them out in the first place is the best option.
