Rodent Control in Newtown

Repairing Damage, Insulation, & Sealing Entry Points

Removing rodents that are already inside is only part of solving the problem. Rodents often leave a trail of damage behind, and if entry points stay open, new animals can easily find their way in. We help you address what rodents have done to your property and reduce the chances of another infestation.

In many local properties, mice and rats reach attics and crawlspaces, where they can chew on wiring, disturb or contaminate insulation, and leave droppings and urine on surfaces. Over time, this can affect energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and even present fire risks if wires are compromised. During our inspection, we look for these issues and let you know what we find so you can make informed decisions.

When insulation has been soiled or disturbed, it often needs to be removed and replaced. We can incorporate insulation recommendations and sanitation steps into your rodent plan, including appropriate cleaning methods for affected areas and installation of new attic or TAP insulation. We also pay close attention to structural gaps and cracks, such as those around utility lines, foundation vents, garage doors, and roof intersections where rodents frequently squeeze through.

Key steps in a comprehensive rodent remediation plan can include:

• Inspection of damage in attics, basements, and crawlspaces, including wiring, insulation, and stored items.
• Sanitation of soiled surfaces and guidance on safe cleanup of droppings and nesting materials.
• Removal and replacement of contaminated insulation when needed to help restore efficiency and cleanliness.
• Sealing and reinforcing likely entry points using materials suited to local building styles and weather.
• Recommendations to reduce attractants, such as food storage changes, decluttering, and vegetation trimming near structures.

Because our team has been working in the Greater Delaware Valley for decades, we are familiar with the common ways rodents enter homes in this area. We use that knowledge to help create longer-term protection, not just a short-term fix.

Common Rodent Species in the Greater Delaware Valley

Understanding which rodents are active on your property helps us choose the most effective approach. Different species behave differently, nest in different areas, and leave different signs. Our technicians are trained to identify what is happening in your home or business and explain it in clear terms.

We often see house mice inside kitchens, pantries, and basements. They can squeeze through very small gaps and tend to nest close to food and warmth. Norway rats are more likely to burrow along foundations, live under sheds or decks, or move through sewer-connected areas, then enter lower levels or storage spaces. Roof rats can be present in some parts of our area and tend to travel along utility lines and nest in attics or upper stories.

Each species leaves telltale clues. Mice typically leave small, pointed droppings and create fine gnaw marks on food containers and trim. Rats leave larger droppings and can leave more noticeable greasy rub marks along frequent travel routes. Nesting materials, scratching sounds at specific times of day, and the location of droppings all help our team determine what is present and how extensive the activity may be.

Signs that you should schedule a free inspection include:

• New droppings in cabinets, along baseboards, or in storage areas.
• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night.
• Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood trim, wires, or plastic storage bins.
• Nests made of shredded paper, insulation, or fabric tucked into hidden corners.
• Burrow holes or worn runways along the exterior foundation or near sheds and garages.

If you notice any of these signs, our team can perform a thorough inspection and explain which rodents are most likely involved. Accurate identification is part of how we create an effective plan for rodent removal property owners can rely on.
