If youâre dealing with rats or mice in your home, you might be tempted to start patching holes you find inside. It feels productive. Logical, even. But hereâs the reality: interior patch jobs donât solve rodent problemsâthey hide them.
At RATS.GURU, weâve seen it all across Mill Valley, Napa, Tiburon, San Mateo, and Pacifica. Homeowners spend money sealing gaps inside pantries, closets, and cabinetsâonly to find rodents returning week after week. Why? Because the real problem is happening outside.
đď¸ A Real Case from Tiburon: Trapped with Nowhere to Go
A family in Tiburon called us after months of hearing scratching in their walls and ceilings. Another company had sealed every interior hole they could findâaround pipes, baseboards, under sinks.
But rodents were still inside. Worse, now they were trapped, gnawing through insulation, leaving droppings in the attic, and chewing on wires behind sealed walls.
Why? Because no one had addressed the source:
đ Exterior entry points that let rodents into the structure in the first place.
Why Interior Sealing Fails Every Time
Rats and mice donât start inside your homeâthey break in. Blocking off their movement inside does nothing to stop them from getting in. In fact, it often makes things worse:
- đˇ Rodents get sealed inside and panic, causing more destruction
- đ Gnawing and nesting intensifies in hidden spaces
- ⥠Chewed electrical wires lead to fire hazards
- đŤ Droppings and contamination spread further unseen
