Mice are crafty little suckers! Look where they worked around a contractors work and got back inside.

So why in most cases do I recommend sealing your entire roofline as opposed to just one or two openings after completing a whole home inspection at your house? Well here’s why…. your garage door is likely your primary or number one access into your home. If I come in and put plywood over your garage door and expect that I can keep you out of your home for good. I would be sadly mistaken, but if I come in and block up the entire house, doors windows and everything then I’ve got a shot at keeping you out at least until you get a hammer and prybar lol.

So when I show you the primary entry point where bats or rodents are currently gaining access into your attic that doesn’t mean that it’s one and done. I’ve already walked around your house and seen multiple other problematic areas where the problem isgoing to move to. Moving the problem is not solving the problem.

At Orange Mouse, we do not use foam to seal entry points during our rodent and wildlife exclusion services. While foam may seem like a quick and easy solution, it actually encourages chewing from rodents and other animals. Foam feels soft to them—like a weak spot—and they instinctively target these areas when trying to regain entry. Additionally, many of these locations carry lingering pheromones from past intrusions, signaling to wildlife that this is a previously successful access point. For long-term success, we use durable materials that resist chewing and properly block scent trails, ensuring the structure is sealed in a way that truly deters future activity.

This is raccoon damage and entry into a home. This raccoon took advantage of sitting comfortably on a chimney shelf and working at tearing away at a soffit space that had been exposed to water damage as a result of flashing and gutter issues. These issues are dealt with by first- inspecting, second- set traps to get the problem wildlife off of the property, third- repair the issue that caused original damage, fourth-permanently repair the area with wildlife proof repairs.

What is a Bat Valve? What does it mean when a Wildlife Control Company tells you that you are going to need one installed as part of the exclusion process?
Well, here you go! It is a very fancied up industry terminology that basically means a tube or other device that allows any bats inside of your structure to get out easily but not be able to get back inside through the same opening.

Spring has Sprung!
Often times those little noises that you dismiss as nothing are warning signs to a bigger problem.
Bats, Mice & other WIldlife in your Attic can cause serious damage in a very short amount of time!

Tree guys will recommend keeping trees cut back 5-6’ to keep squirrels from gaining access onto your house.
Experience tells us 8-10’ minimum, and this pic that Mitch the owner caught yesterday further shows that.
The quicker and easier it is for squirrels to access your roof the more likely they are to start chewing their way inside to your attic!

I originally made this video to show our technicians that were working on this job. I didn’t want them to seal this area due to the roof having very loose granular on the shingles and the fact that it was right at the edge of the roof. After watching it, I thought it might bring some value to anyone that is interested in it. This shows how many spots can let Bats and Mice in, in a very small area of the roof.

Yuck Factor Elevated! This brown staining on the carpet was caused by rodents traversing under this door way over a long period of time. Slang terminology is “rodent grease” actual terminology is sebum. Rodent Grease tends to accumulate around smaller spaces/openings as they have to lower their bodies closer to the ground to get through. You will also see it on bumpy “more irregular” surfaces.
