What Is Pest Proofing?

Pest proofing is the process of finding and sealing the gaps, cracks and openings that pests can use to enter your home.

This can include gaps around pipes, doors, vents, roof spaces, drains and damaged areas around the outside of the property.

The aim is not just to remove an existing pest problem, but to reduce the chance of rats, mice and other pests getting back inside.

Why Do Entry-Point Checks Matter?

Rats and mice can enter through surprisingly small gaps.

If an entry point is left open, pests can return even after treatment has been carried out.

Checking the outside of the property, attic, pipework, drains and other access points helps identify where the problem may be starting.

What Should I Do If My Score Is Poor?

If your quiz score shows that your home has several possible pest entry points, the next step is to inspect those areas properly and deal with any active pest problem.

House & Home Pest Control can inspect the property, identify likely entry points and recommend the pest-proofing work needed to reduce the chance of pests returning.
