Frequently Asked Questions About Humane Rodent Proofing

Absolutely not. Using poison or traps only addresses the current population and is never a permanent fix. At Rodocentric, we provide the permanent solution by sealing all entry points, eliminating the need for any lethal methods.

Yes, this is the core of our business! The most effective, humane, and permanent solution is rodent proofing (also called exclusion). Instead of using poison or traps, we focus entirely on finding and sealing every known entry point. This keeps them out for good.

Because Rodocentric focuses 100% on physical exclusion and does not use any poisons, chemicals, or traps, our service is completely safe for babies, children, pets, and vulnerable people. Our work involves structural repairs and sealing, keeping your living environment secure and hazard-free.

Yes, professional rodent proofing is the only permanent solution. Trapping and poisoning only treat the symptom (the current presence of rodents); proofing treats the cause (the holes in your building). Our high-end, tailored installations block every single entry point, ensuring peace of mind for good.

The most effective long-term method is professional proofing and exclusion. We follow a clear process:

1. Inspection: We thoroughly assess your entire property (inside and out) to find all existing and potential access points.

2. Advice: We will provide you with advice on what are the easy ways of preventing your property from becoming an attractive feeding site in the future.

3. Sealing: We use permanent, high-quality materials to seal those gaps and eliminate sensory attractants.

4. Prevention: The rodents are now permanently excluded.

You are getting rodents because your property has easily accessible entry points. They are not invading; they are simply exploiting gaps in your building fabric (often around pipes, cables, vents, or foundations) because they are looking for a food source and harbourage. Our service permanently eliminates these points of ingress.

The only way to guarantee prevention is through physical proofing/exclusion. This means having a professional service inspection of your property, identify all gaps, which may pose as an attractive entry point (even those as small as 5mm for mice), then seal them permanently using materials rodents cannot gnaw through.

We rely on durable, high performance materials, primarily metal plates, heavy-duty galvanised mesh, rodent-proof fabrics and other materials, which combined together professionally, create a secure barrier against rodents. This complete seal eliminates sensory attractants, ensuring a lasting barrier. We strictly avoid DIY materials like expanding foam or steel wool, which are easily breached and can be unsafe.

Yes, significant damage. Rodents must constantly gnaw to keep their teeth short, often targeting electrical wiring, network cables, and plumbing pipes. This destructive behaviour leads to costly water leaks, insulation damage, and, most dangerously, electrical faults and serious fire hazards. Permanent proofing protects your essential infrastructure.

Absolutely, and severely. Beyond damaging cables and pipes, a rat infestation can contaminate inventory, destroy structural elements, lead to regulatory fines, and cause costly operational downtime. Investing in long-term protection with our permanent proofing solutions is vital for business continuity and safety.
