Frequently Asked Questions

I saw on Facebook, Google & YouTube that I just need to seal the area the pests are coming in at. Why are you selling the total home seal-up?

With some builders, you have numerous gaps and with rodents, they can get into spots we don’t realize they can; without a trained eye for this, you may not know until it’s too late and damages happen. Spot sealing only covers up to 3 spots with no warranty – with this said, you could have far more than this. The rodents – once locked out or sealed out – understand this as home and will search until they find one of the other gaps. If the hole is not big enough, they will chew and cause damages or get into an area unheard and wreak havoc by chewing wires, duct work, and much more. Spot seals are a short-term solution at best; for a long-term solution, you have to hit current and future entry areas to eliminate them coming back.

How much damage can one rodent cause if I just used the cheapest solution?

Over time, once they gain access, they may get into an area of the home where you can’t hear them moving around or scratching. Here are a few examples:

A client 4 years ago had duct work damages. He had no idea rodents had been back until the AC guy came in to do a routine service. Squirrels had chewed through his duct work causing major damage to the tune of $10,575. They also contaminated all the ducts to every other room in the home. 

Also, 20 – 30% of home fires have been caused by rodents chewing wiring. Flyers cause urine stains that can run down walls, cabinets, and onto drywall and ceilings.

This is not something I would try to bandaid fix!

When "sealing" the ridge vents or metal ridge caps, will my attic be able to breathe still?

Yes, both our metal and shingle sealing solutions are designed to effectively prevent rodents and other pests from entering your home. Each product features small perforations that allow for proper airflow, ensuring that your home’s ventilation system remains fully functional and uncompromised.

When sealing the ridge vents, can they cause leaks due to using screws to hold the material down?

No, the screws used are the same type but longer than standard metal roofing screws. Each screw includes a rubber washer backed by a metal washer. As the screw is tightened, the rubber washer compresses and expands to seal the hole, while the metal washer shields the rubber from weather exposure and degradation. Additionally, we apply sealant to every screw to ensure a watertight seal and enhance overall durability.
