About My Proofing Service

When I carry out rat proofing, I focus on sealing every potential entry point and blocking access routes that rodents use to invade. By closing up gaps, vents, drains, and other weak spots, I make your property far less inviting to rats. My proofing approach is all about prevention — keeping your home or business safe, healthy, and rodent-free for the long term.

Issues Without Rat Proofing

Risks of Skipping Proofing

Without proper proofing, your property stays open to repeat infestations. Rats can chew wires, damage insulation, contaminate food, and spread disease. Leaving vents, cracks, or drains unprotected makes it easy for them to keep coming back — creating ongoing stress, disruption, and expensive repairs.

How I Proof Your Property

I personally inspect your property to find weak spots that rats could use to get in. Then I seal gaps, fit mesh over vents, and apply durable barriers to stop re-entry. This hands-on approach protects you now and prevents future infestations, so you can feel confident your space is secure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Proofing

It’s the process of sealing up entry points and putting barriers in place so rats can’t get in. I make sure your property is properly protected to stop infestations before they start.

Treatments get rid of current rats, but without proofing they can just come back. Proofing locks them out and gives you lasting protection.

I do a full inspection of walls, drains, vents, pipes, and any gaps in the structure. Once I’ve found them, I seal them properly so rats can’t get back in.

Yes, the methods I use are safe, eco-friendly, and non-toxic. They won’t harm pets, kids, or employees — just the rats’ chances of getting inside.

When installed properly, proofing holds up long-term. I still recommend occasional inspections to make sure no new weak spots have developed over time.

Definitely. Preventive proofing is the smartest step you can take. It’s much easier — and cheaper — to keep rats out than to deal with an infestation later.

Matt and Rodent Roundup helped us with a rat problem in Santa Cruz. Matt was a very good communicator, on time, efficient and had very good follow-up. Most importantly, his work was effective and we trapped a LOT of rats. The cost was also reasonable and I would not hesitate to recommend Rodent Roundup to others.

I needed some mice removed from my home. I called Matt at Rodent Round up, he responded quickly, made an appointment , he was timely and evaluated my situation. Matt was very thorough in his inspection and made his recommendations for a plan and upon my approval proceeded to lay mouse traps, covered access holes to keep the mice out within my home and outside. Matt repaired vents on my roof etc. Matt is very skillful in what he does. I will call him the mouse whisperer. Matt is very personable asks the right questions and is a good listener. I recommend his Rodent Roundup!

Rodent Roundup did a fantastic job of handling my issue of rodents in my attic. Matt quickly returned my initial call, listened to my problem and clearly advised me of the services he would provide (trap setting and return visit to check traps) and the cost. Additionally, he provided pictures of his findings and remedial work needed to prevent entry. While having this problem was not pleasant, choosing Rodent Roundup made the fix pleasant.
