Why Rodents Keep Coming Back

A mouse only needs an opening about the size of a dime (1/4 inch) to enter your home. Even well-maintained homes naturally develop small gaps over time that rodents use to get inside.

Under Siding

Rodents climb foundations and squeeze under siding transitions into your wall framing.

Along the Foundation

Small gaps where the wooden frame meets concrete are easy pathways for pests.

Around Utility Penetrations

Pipes, wires, and HVAC lines leave openings that mice exploit to bypass walls.

Beneath Exterior Trim

Fascia boards, soffits, and window moldings warp over time, creating access vents.

Construction Joints

Where different building sections meet, gaps expand due to normal house settling.

Garage Transitions

The spaces around garage door seals and adjacent door trim are primary entryways.
