Call (209) 563-1650Frequently asked questions
Is exclusion better than poison for rodents?
Exclusion is the better long-term fix because it stops new rodents from entering, while bait alone only addresses the ones already inside. The two work best together — seal the gaps and clear what’s in.
What materials keep mice out?
Mice can’t chew through steel wool, copper mesh, hardware cloth, sheet metal or mortar, so those are used to seal gaps — not foam or caulk alone, which rodents gnaw through.
Why does exclusion matter so much in Joliet?
Older Joliet housing and cold winters combine to push rodents indoors through many small gaps. Sealing those entry points is what keeps the problem from returning every fall.
