Every way in

Every way a roof rat gets in

Roof rats come out at night, climb palms, trees and wires, and slip into small gaps along the roofline.

Every common entry point is listed below the picture.

All 8 entry points, as a list
  1. Palms and limbs touching the roof

    Roof rats climb palms, branches and utility wires at night to reach the roof. Trimming back anything that touches the roof cuts off the route, and with every gap sealed there's nowhere left to go.

  2. Gable vents

    A worn or damaged gable vent is an easy way into the attic for a climbing roof rat. We seal it with commercial-grade, exterior-rated materials, so air keeps flowing and roof rats stay out.

  3. Roof vents and ridge

    Roof rats are light on their feet and squeeze under loose vent edges and ridge caps. Each vent edge is sealed tight without blocking airflow.

  4. Roof returns and eave gaps

    Where two rooflines meet there's often a small open pocket at the eave, and it's one of the most common ways a roof rat walks into the attic. We close each return for good and finish it to match the roofline.

  5. Soffit gaps and vents

    Roof rats travel the roof edge at night and slip in where a soffit panel has sagged or a soffit vent is damaged. We seal every gap with commercial-grade, exterior-rated materials, so the attic still breathes.

  6. AC line set and wall penetrations

    The AC line set works like a ladder, and the hole where it enters the wall is often bigger than the lines. We seal the space around the lines, so the ladder leads nowhere.

  7. Plumbing and pipe holes

    Pipes, conduit and cables often pass through the stucco with open space around them. We close every opening with materials built for Florida sun and storms.

  8. Garage door corners and weather seal

    Worn bottom seals and gaps at the door corners give roof rats a way into the garage, and from there into the attic. We repair and harden the garage door seal so it's rodent- and pest-proof.
