Why Choose Us for Rodent Proofing in Washington Heights
Rodent proofing is the permanent solution to recurring mouse and rat problems — addressing the structural vulnerabilities that allow rodents to enter rather than repeatedly treating the symptom. Our licensed technicians conduct a comprehensive exterior inspection of your entire property, documenting every gap, crack, utility penetration, vent opening, and structural weakness that could serve as a rodent entry point. We then seal each identified opening using the appropriate material for that application: steel wool packed into gaps, hardware cloth over vents and larger openings, copper mesh around pipes, and silicone or foam for smaller cracks and seams. Our 1-year structural guarantee covers the exclusion work — if rodents re-enter through any area we sealed, we come back and fix it.

How much does rodent proofing cost in Washington Heights?▾
Rodent proofing in Washington Heights typically ranges from $500 to $3,000 depending on property size, building age, number of entry points, and extent of exclusion work needed. A small apartment may cost $500-$1,000, while larger multi-family buildings or homes with significant vulnerabilities may reach $2,000-$3,000.
