The Situation
- Several small gaps around the home's exterior were open invitations for rodents as temperatures dropped.
- Vents, the siding-to-foundation seam, and utility penetrations were all identified as risk points.
- The yard itself had clutter that could encourage rodent activity near the house.
Where We Started
Fall Rodent Proofing for Homes in Burnaby, Vancouver, North & West Vancouver
What We Did
Inspect
Carried out a full exterior inspection with proper PPE — gloves, eye protection, and an N95 mask.
Seal Vents & Seams
Installed 1/4-inch hardware cloth behind vent hoods and continuous mesh along the siding-to-foundation seam.
Close Utility Gaps
Fitted a shaped, removable mesh cap at the meter and conduit penetrations, and packed the pipe pass-through with steel wool and exterior sealant.
Finish & Tidy
Filled trim and corner gaps with backer rod and sealant, then tidied the perimeter — lifting shrubs, moving stored wood, and securing bins.
