Rodent Control in Ganado Built on Local Experience

Rodent Control in Ganado is a category of pest management that removes rats, mice and pack rats from homes, businesses and outbuildings, then seals the structure so they stay out. AridShield Rodent Control works Ganado and the surrounding Navajo Nation communities every week, from Highway 264 corridor homes to rural properties off Indian Route 15. Ganado sits at about 6,400 feet in Apache County, where cold winters push rodents indoors and summer monsoon rains flood burrows and drive pack rats toward sheds and crawl spaces. We run rodent inspection, rodent trapping and rodent exclusion as one job, not three separate visits. Our technicians carry snap traps, glue boards, live catch traps, copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant on every truck, so most Ganado jobs are finished in one trip. We hold an Arizona Structural Pest Control Commission license and follow EPA Certified Applicator standards on every rodenticide bait block we place. If you hear scratching noises at night or find rodent droppings in the attic, call us and we will find the entry points, remove the animals and clean up the mess.

Ganado is a rural community where most homes sit on larger lots with sheds, woodpiles, corrals and outbuildings. That layout gives roof rats and pack rats plenty of harborage, and once the first cold snap hits in late October, they move toward attic insulation and wall voids. We serve Ganado because the nearest full-service pest control options are in Holbrook, Winslow and Gallup, and homeowners here told us they were tired of waiting days for a callback. Our trucks run the Highway 264 and Highway 191 corridors weekly, so a Ganado call is a same-day or next-day job, not a maybe-next-week job.

Rodent Control Services Available in Ganado

Ganado rodent problems split into two groups: roof rats and mice in the attic, and pack rats in yards, sheds and vehicle engines. We handle both, plus the cleanup that follows. If you are searching for rodent removal near me in Ganado, this is the full list of what our trucks carry and what we do on site. Every job starts with a rodent inspection so we know the species, the entry points and the severity before we quote.

␁

Rodent Removal

We remove rats and mice from Ganado homes using snap traps, glue boards and live catch traps placed along runways and in attic voids. Most single-family removals take two to four hours, and we haul the carcasses out in sealed dropping bags the same day. We show you the entry points we found before we leave.

↯

Rodent Exclusion

Exclusion is the permanent fix. In Ganado we seal gaps at roof lines, foundation vents, utility penetrations and soffits with copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. Block homes near the Chapter House and older modular units usually need 8 to 15 sealed points. Our exclusion work carries a two-year warranty.

Rodent Inspection

A Ganado rodent inspection covers the attic, crawl space, kitchen, garage, exterior perimeter and outbuildings. We use a flashlight, inspection mirror, borescope camera and thermal imaging camera to find droppings, gnaw marks and nesting material you would never spot from the ladder. You get a written findings list with photos and a fixed price.

◒

Rodent Proofing & Prevention

Prevention keeps Ganado homes from repeating the same problem next winter. We install rodent bait stations around the exterior, seal the entry points we found, and set a quarterly check schedule. For rural properties with sheds and woodpiles, we also treat the outbuildings. Most Ganado homes stay rodent-free for two or more seasons after proofing.

See details ↓05

◎

Rat Control

Rats in Ganado are usually roof rats in the attic or Norway rats around foundations and trash. We identify the species first because the trap placement and bait strategy are different. Rat control jobs in Ganado typically run three to five visits over two weeks, with monitoring between visits. We do not leave bait where pets or kids can reach it.

See details ↓06

＋

Roof Rat Removal

Roof rats in Ganado travel power lines, tree limbs and roof edges to reach attics. We trap them inside the attic, then seal the roof-to-wall junctions, gable vents and fascia gaps with copper mesh and hardware cloth. Roof rat damage to roof tiles and insulation is common here. Most roof rat jobs are cleared in 10 to 14 days.

See details ↓07

␁

Pack Rat Removal

Pack rats build nests in Ganado sheds, woodpiles, vehicle engines and under mobile homes. We remove the nest, trap the animal and clear the debris pile, then treat the area with disinfectant and enzyme cleaner. Pack rat nests in yards are a year-round call here. We also check car and truck wiring for chewed insulation before we leave.

See details ↓08

↯

Mouse Control

Deer mice and house mice move into Ganado homes fast once nighttime temperatures drop below freezing. We set snap traps and glue boards along baseboards, inside cabinets and in attic runs, then seal the small gaps mice squeeze through. Mouse control in Ganado usually takes one to two visits. We also flag contaminated food in kitchen areas.

See details ↓09

≈

Rodent Trapping

Trapping is the core of what we do in Ganado. We use Victor snap traps, Catchmaster glue boards and Havahart live catch traps depending on the species and where the animal is. Traps are checked on a set schedule so nothing sits. You get a count of what was caught and where, every visit.

Attic Rodent Cleanup & Decontamination

Ganado attics often hold years of droppings, urine-soaked insulation and nesting material. We remove the contaminated insulation, bag the droppings, fog with disinfectant, then apply enzyme cleaner to kill the odor. New insulation goes in after the attic is dry. This is the step most homeowners skip and regret.

Who we serve in Ganado

Two very different jobs. One local crew.

For homes

Residential Rodent Control in Ganado

Most of our Ganado work is residential. Homes here range from older block houses near the Chapter House to modular units in the hospital district and rural properties along Highway 264. Families call us about scratching noises at night, droppings in the kitchen and pack rats in the shed. We treat the house and the outbuildings together, because treating one without the other usually means a repeat call. Our residential rodent control in Ganado includes inspection, trapping, exclusion and attic cleanup, all under one fixed price.

01Whole-home rodent inspection

We inspect the attic, crawl space, kitchen, garage, exterior perimeter and outbuildings on every Ganado residential call. You get a written findings list with photos and a fixed price. Most inspections take 60 to 90 minutes.

02Attic trapping and exclusion

Roof rats and mice in Ganado attics get trapped with snap traps and glue boards, then we seal the gable vents, fascia gaps and roof-line penetrations with copper mesh and hardware cloth. Our exclusion work carries a two-year warranty.

03Attic cleanup and decontamination

We remove contaminated insulation, bag droppings in sealed dropping bags, fog with disinfectant and apply enzyme cleaner to kill the odor. New insulation goes in after the attic is dry. This is the step that makes the house smell normal again.

04Pack rat removal for sheds and vehicles

Ganado rural properties often have pack rats in sheds, woodpiles and under vehicle hoods. We remove the nest, trap the animal, treat the area and set exterior bait stations. We also flag chewed wiring before it becomes a fire risk.

Fixed price after inspection, no surprise add-ons for cleanup or follow-up visits.
Two-year warranty on exclusion work, so if rodents chew back in, we re-seal at no charge.
Attic cleanup with disinfectant and enzyme cleaner, not just a spray of air freshener.

For businesses

Commercial Rodent Control in Ganado

Ganado businesses along the Highway 264 commercial strip and the hospital district need rodent control that does not disrupt operations. We schedule early-morning or after-hours visits so your staff and customers never see a trap. If you are searching for commercial rodent control near me in Ganado, we handle retail, food service, healthcare, schools and tribal buildings.

We run Ganado commercial routes before opening or after close so traps and bait stations are never visible to customers. For restaurants and retail along Highway 264, that means no disruption to the business day.

02Tamper-resistant bait stations

We use Bell Laboratories and Liphatech tamper-resistant rodent bait stations placed around the exterior perimeter and in service areas. Each station is numbered and mapped so you have documentation for health inspections.

03Service reports every visit

You get a written report after each Ganado commercial visit showing trap counts, station checks, entry point status and any new activity. That paper trail matters for health department inspections and internal audits.

04Exclusion work on commercial buildings

We seal loading dock gaps, utility penetrations, roof-line openings and foundation vents with copper mesh, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. Commercial exclusion in Ganado carries the same two-year warranty as our residential work.

Rodent Removal in Ganado

For fast, humane rodent removal in Ganado, AridShield Rodent Control delivers proven results across Apache County. Our licensed technicians understand the high-desert climate and older housing stock near Ganado Lake and the Chapter House area, where pack rats and mice frequently invade. We remove active rodents, seal entry points, and sanitize affected zones so your home or business stays protected year-round.

High-Desert Rodent Behavior

Ganado's cold winters and monsoon summers push rodents indoors seeking warmth and water. Our team tracks these seasonal patterns to target removal when activity peaks, using strategic bait placements and live traps that work with local conditions rather than against them.

Removal for Older Homes

Many Ganado residences near the Navajo Nation Chapter House were built with pier-and-beam foundations and adobe walls that create natural rodent highways. We inspect these vulnerable voids, remove nesting rodents, and treat runways to stop reinfestation before it spreads.

Safe Removal Around Families

Families in Ganado need removal methods safe for children and pets. We use tamper-resistant stations and humane traps, then dispose of carcasses properly. Every job includes a walkthrough so you understand what was removed and where rodents were entering.

Rodent Exclusion in Ganado

Rodent exclusion in Ganado starts with sealing every gap rodents use to enter your home. AridShield Rodent Control specializes in durable exclusion work for the high-desert climate, addressing foundation cracks, roofline gaps, and utility penetrations common in Ganado's older and newer construction alike. We keep rodents out for good, not just for a season.

Sealing Foundation and Vents

Ganado homes often have open crawlspace vents and unsealed foundation gaps that invite pack rats and mice. We install galvanized mesh, concrete patch, and rodent-proof vent covers sized for local building styles, closing the most common entry points we find during inspections.

Roofline and Attic Gaps

Roof rats and mice climb stucco and wood siding to reach attic vents and fascia gaps. Our exclusion crew seals these elevated openings with hardware cloth and flashing, preventing the roofline breaches that lead to attic infestations in Ganado's wind-exposed neighborhoods.

Utility Line Penetrations

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC lines create gaps rodents exploit. We pack and seal these penetrations with copper mesh and sealant rated for temperature swings, blocking entry without interfering with utilities or trapping moisture inside walls.

Rodent Inspection in Ganado

A thorough rodent inspection in Ganado is the first step toward solving any infestation. AridShield Rodent Control inspects attics, crawlspaces, kitchens, and exteriors for droppings, gnaw marks, runways, and entry points. We tailor every inspection to Ganado's housing styles and desert climate, giving you a clear picture of activity and a plan to fix it.

Attic and Crawlspace Checks

Ganado attics reach extreme temperatures, but rodents still nest in insulation and along joists. We inspect these spaces for droppings, urine staining, and chewed wiring, documenting evidence so you know exactly where activity is concentrated before treatment begins.

Kitchen and Pantry Evidence

Mouse and rat activity often shows up first in kitchens and pantries. We check behind appliances, inside cabinets, and along baseboards for gnaw marks and droppings, identifying the species present so removal and prevention match the actual problem.

Exterior Entry Point Mapping

We walk the full exterior of your Ganado property, noting gaps at foundations, vents, rooflines, and utility entries. Each inspection includes a mapped list of vulnerabilities, prioritized by likelihood of rodent use, so exclusion work targets the right spots first.

Rodent Proofing & Prevention in Ganado

Rodent proofing and prevention in Ganado protects your property before rodents get inside. AridShield Rodent Control combines exclusion sealing, habitat modification, and ongoing monitoring to keep rats and mice out of homes near Ganado Lake, the Chapter House, and throughout Apache County. Prevention today avoids costly removal and cleanup tomorrow.

Habitat Modification Outdoors

Woodpiles, brush, and stored feed around Ganado properties give rodents cover and nesting sites. We recommend and implement yard cleanups, elevated storage, and vegetation trimming to remove the harborage rodents rely on, reducing pressure on your home's exterior.

Entry Point Hardening

Prevention means sealing every gap larger than a quarter inch. We reinforce door sweeps, garage thresholds, and vent openings with rodent-resistant materials, creating a barrier that holds up against Ganado's temperature swings and seasonal rodent pushes.

Seasonal Monitoring Plans

Rodent pressure in Ganado peaks with cold snaps and monsoon rains. Our prevention plans include scheduled monitoring visits, bait station checks, and exterior inspections so new vulnerabilities are caught and sealed before rodents exploit them.

Rat Control in Ganado

Effective rat control in Ganado requires understanding Norway rats and roof rats alike. AridShield Rodent Control locates rat activity in crawlspaces, wall voids, and attics, then removes the rats and seals the routes they use. Our Ganado rat control programs combine trapping, exclusion, and sanitation for lasting results.

Norway Rat Ground Control

Norway rats burrow near foundations and enter through low gaps in Ganado homes. We target ground-level runways with secured bait stations and traps, then seal foundation breaches so rats cannot re-enter after removal is complete.

Roof Rat Vertical Control

Roof rats travel along power lines and tree branches to reach Ganado rooflines. Our control strategy includes trimming access routes, sealing attic vents, and placing traps at elevated entry points where these agile rats are most active.

Sanitation After Removal

Rats leave droppings, urine, and grease trails that attract new rodents. We sanitize affected areas in Ganado homes with hospital-grade products, removing pheromone trails and reducing the scent cues that draw replacement rats into the same spaces.

Roof Rat Removal in Ganado

Roof rat removal in Ganado targets the agile climbers that nest in attics and wall voids. AridShield Rodent Control locates roof rat entry points along rooflines, vents, and utility lines, removes the rats, and seals access routes. We protect Ganado homes from the gnawing, contamination, and noise these pests cause.

Locating Attic Activity

Roof rats leave droppings, rub marks, and chewed insulation in Ganado attics. We inspect these spaces thoroughly, identifying travel paths and nesting sites so removal targets the actual population rather than just the visible signs.

Sealing Roofline Entries

Roof rats enter through gaps at fascia boards, attic vents, and roof-to-wall junctions. Our exclusion crew seals these openings with hardware cloth and flashing, blocking the elevated entry points that make roof rats so persistent in Ganado neighborhoods.

Tree and Wire Trimming

Branches touching Ganado rooflines and utility wires give roof rats easy access. We identify and recommend trimming these routes, cutting off the highways roof rats use to reach your home and reducing the chance of reinfestation after removal.

Pack Rat Removal in Ganado

Pack rat removal in Ganado addresses the desert woodrats that build large middens in attics, garages, and outbuildings. AridShield Rodent Control removes pack rats and their nests, then seals entry points and clears harborage. We understand the high-desert habits that make pack rats a recurring problem for Ganado properties.

Midden Removal and Cleanup

Pack rats build dense middens of twigs, debris, and droppings that harbor parasites and create fire risk. We remove these nests from Ganado attics and outbuildings, then sanitize the area to eliminate odors and pheromone trails that attract new pack rats.

Outbuilding and Garage Control

Ganado garages, sheds, and barns offer pack rats shelter and stored materials for nesting. We inspect these structures, remove active rats, and recommend storage and sealing changes that make outbuildings less inviting to desert woodrats.

Desert Harborage Reduction

Cholla skeletons, brush piles, and stacked lumber around Ganado properties give pack rats ready-made nesting material. Our team identifies these harborage zones and provides a cleanup plan that reduces the resources pack rats depend on.

Mouse Control in Ganado

Mouse control in Ganado stops the small invaders that contaminate food, chew wiring, and multiply quickly. AridShield Rodent Control locates mouse activity in kitchens, wall voids, and attics, removes the mice, and seals the tiny gaps they squeeze through. Our Ganado mouse control programs deliver lasting relief for homes and businesses.

Kitchen and Pantry Trapping

Mice in Ganado homes often concentrate in kitchens and pantries where food and warmth are plentiful. We place tamper-resistant traps along baseboards and behind appliances, targeting the runways mice use most and removing the population at its source.

Wall Void and Attic Access

Mice travel through wall voids and attic insulation, entering through gaps as small as a dime. We identify these hidden routes in Ganado homes, place traps strategically, and seal openings so mice cannot continue moving between floors.

Preventing Rapid Reinfestation

A single mouse pair can produce dozens of offspring in a season. Our Ganado mouse control includes exclusion sealing and monitoring recommendations, breaking the breeding cycle so removal results hold instead of resetting within weeks.

Rodent Trapping in Ganado

Rodent trapping in Ganado removes rats and mice without relying on poison alone. AridShield Rodent Control places traps along active runways, checks them on a set schedule, and disposes of rodents safely. Our trapping programs suit Ganado homes, businesses, and outbuildings where quick, targeted removal matters most.

Strategic Trap Placement

Traps work best when placed on the runways rodents actually use. We identify these paths in Ganado attics, crawlspaces, and kitchens, then position snap traps and live traps where activity is highest for efficient removal.

Scheduled Trap Checks

Regular trap checks keep removal humane and effective. Our Ganado trapping service includes scheduled visits to clear traps, reset stations, and adjust placement based on changing activity, so no rodent sits longer than necessary.

Safe Disposal Practices

Proper disposal prevents odor, disease, and secondary pest issues. We remove trapped rodents from Ganado properties in sealed bags, sanitize trap locations, and document removal counts so you can track progress across the treatment period.

Attic Rodent Cleanup & Decontamination in Ganado

Attic rodent cleanup and decontamination in Ganado restores safe, breathable air after an infestation. AridShield Rodent Control removes contaminated insulation, sanitizes surfaces, and eliminates droppings, urine, and pheromone trails. We serve Ganado homes where attic rodents have left behind odors, stains, and health hazards that standard pest control alone cannot fix.

Contaminated Insulation Removal

Rodent droppings and urine soak into attic insulation, creating persistent odors and airborne hazards. We remove contaminated batts and loose fill from Ganado attics, bagging debris for proper disposal before any sanitizing work begins.

Surface Sanitizing and Sealing

After debris removal, we treat attic framing, sheathing, and ductwork with hospital-grade sanitizers. This step in Ganado attic cleanup neutralizes pathogens and pheromone trails, reducing the scent cues that invite new rodents into the same space.

Odor Neutralization Treatment

Lingering attic odors in Ganado homes often signal hidden contamination. We apply odor-neutralizing treatments to framing and remaining surfaces, then verify results so your attic smells clean and stays that way after new insulation goes in.

How We Execute Rodent Control in Ganado

Ganado sits at 6,400 feet in Apache County, and that elevation changes how we work. Winter nighttime temps drop into the teens, so we schedule attic inspections for mid-morning when the space has warmed enough to be safe

Cold snaps drive rodents indoors fast

When Ganado temps drop below freezing in November and December, mice and roof rats move into wall voids and attics within days. Calls spike, and jobs that would be small in September become full exclusion work by December.

How we handle it We run extra Ganado routes from late October through January and prioritize calls with scratching noises at night. If you call in November, we aim to be on site the same day or next morning, not the following week.

Rural lots with sheds and woodpiles

Most Ganado properties have outbuildings, hay storage or woodpiles that give pack rats and mice a place to live year-round. Treating only the house leaves the source intact, and the problem returns within weeks.

How we handle it We inspect and treat outbuildings on the same visit, set rodent bait stations around the perimeter, and clear pack rat nests in yards. That breaks the cycle instead of chasing it.

Older block and modular construction

Block homes and older modular units in Ganado have irregular foundation gaps, unsealed utility penetrations and attic vents that were never screened. These are the entry points rodents use most, and they are easy to miss without a proper inspection.

How we handle it We use a flashlight, inspection mirror and borescope camera to check every penetration, then seal with copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. We photograph each sealed point so you can see the work.

Ganado problem patterns

Common Rodent Problems in Ganado

Ganado's climate and building stock drive a specific set of rodent problems. Cold winters push animals indoors, monsoon rains flood burrows, and older block and modular construction leaves gaps that never get sealed. Here is what we see most on our Ganado routes.

Roof rats in attic insulation

Why it happens Ganado winter nights drop into the teens, and attic insulation holds warmth. Roof rats climb power lines and tree limbs to reach roof edges, then squeeze through unscreened gable vents and fascia gaps. Once inside, they tunnel through insulation and leave droppings behind.

Our approach We trap inside the attic with snap traps and glue boards, then seal every roof-line gap with copper mesh and hardware cloth. We remove contaminated insulation and replace it after decontamination. Our exclusion work carries a two-year warranty.

Pack rats nesting in sheds and vehicle engines

Why it happens Rural Ganado lots have sheds, woodpiles and parked vehicles that give pack rats shelter and nesting material. They build large stick nests and gnaw wiring, which is why chewed car wires are such a common call here. The problem is year-round, not seasonal.

Our approach We remove the nest, trap the animal with live catch traps or snap traps depending on the situation, and treat the area with disinfectant and enzyme cleaner. We set exterior rodent bait stations around the property to keep new rats from moving in.

Mice in kitchen cabinets and behind appliances

Why it happens Deer mice and house mice enter Ganado homes through gaps as small as a quarter inch, often at foundation lines and utility penetrations. Once inside, they target kitchen cabinets, behind the stove and under the sink. Contaminated food in kitchen areas is a health risk.

Our approach We pull the lower cabinets, find the entry points with a flashlight and inspection mirror, and seal them with steel wool and exclusion sealant. Snap traps go along baseboards and inside cabinets. We clean the affected area with enzyme cleaner before we leave.

Rodent droppings in attic insulation

Why it happens Years of rodent activity in a Ganado attic leaves droppings, urine and nesting material soaked into the insulation. Homeowners often do not notice until the smell reaches the living space or an inspection turns it up. Disturbing it without protection spreads contaminants.

Our approach We suit up, bag the droppings in sealed dropping bags, remove the contaminated insulation, and fog the attic with disinfectant. Enzyme cleaner goes down after that to kill the odor. New insulation goes in once the space is dry and sealed.

Clear starting points

Rodent Control Pricing in Ganado

Typical 2026 pricing for rodent control in Ganado runs $180 to $450 for an initial inspection plus trapping, and $600 to $1,800 for full exclusion work on a single-family home. Attic cleanup and decontamination with new insulation usually runs $1,200 to $3,500 depending on square footage and how much material has to come out. Rural properties with multiple outbuildings sit at the higher end because there is more ground to cover. We quote a fixed price after the inspection, so you know the number before we start. There is no charge for the estimate.

We run Ganado routes Monday through Saturday, with emergency calls handled 24/7 at the same phone number. Same-day service is usually available if you call before noon. Winter is our busiest season here, so book exclusion work in October if you want it done before the first hard freeze.

Size of the structure

•affects price

Ganado through the year

How Ganado Seasons Affect Rodent Control

Ganado has four real seasons, and each one changes what rodents do and what we do about it. Winter is our busiest stretch, but fall is when smart homeowners book exclusion work. Here is what to expect month by month.

❊

Spring

Spring in Ganado brings melting snow and warmer days, and rodents that overwintered indoors start moving back outside. That is when we find nests in wall voids and see mice activity drop in kitchens. Pack rats start rebuilding nests in sheds and woodpiles.

Tip Book an inspection in March or April to catch overwintering rodents before they breed. Clear woodpiles away from the house and check shed corners for new nest material.

☀

Summer

Monsoon season runs July through September in Ganado, and heavy rain floods burrows and drives pack rats toward sheds, crawl spaces and vehicle engines. Roof rat activity stays steady in attics because the space stays warm. Chewed car wires become a frequent call.

Tip After a heavy rain, check your shed and the area under your vehicle for new nest material. Keep the hood closed and consider parking inside if you have a garage.

❄

Fall

Fall is when Ganado rodents start looking for winter shelter. Mice and roof rats move toward attics and wall voids as nighttime temperatures drop. This is the best window to seal entry points before the first freeze. Pack rats get busy caching food for winter.

Tip Book exclusion work in October. Once the first hard freeze hits in November, rodent calls spike and our schedule fills. Sealing before the cold is cheaper than trapping after.

❅

Winter

Winter is peak rodent season in Ganado. Nighttime temps drop into the teens, and mice and roof rats are fully indoors. Scratching noises at night, droppings in the attic and rodent urine odor are the calls we get most. Pack rats stay active in sheds and under mobile homes.

Tip If you hear scratching at night, call the same week. Winter infestations grow fast because there is no natural food outside. Keep pet food sealed and trash lids tight.

Most Ganado rodent control jobs run $180 to $450 for inspection and trapping, and $600 to $1,800 for full exclusion on a single-family home. Attic cleanup with new insulation runs $1,200 to $3,500. We quote a fixed price after the inspection, and the estimate is free.

Same-day service is usually available if you call before noon on a weekday. Our Ganado routes run Monday through Saturday, and emergency calls go to the same phone number 24/7. Winter is our busiest season, so book exclusion work in October if you want it done before the first freeze.

Roof rats and deer mice are the two we find most in Ganado attics. Roof rats climb power lines and tree limbs to reach roof edges, while mice squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter inch at foundation lines. Pack rats are more common in sheds, woodpiles and vehicle engines.

Yes. We remove pack rat nests from sheds, woodpiles, under mobile homes and vehicle engines, then trap the animal and treat the area with disinfectant and enzyme cleaner. We also set exterior rodent bait stations to keep new rats from moving in. Pack rats are a year-round problem in Ganado.

Yes. Our exclusion work carries a two-year warranty. If rodents chew through a sealed entry point within that window, we come back and re-seal it at no charge. We photograph every sealed point so you have a record of what was done and where.
