Understanding Proofing and Its Importance

Proofing in pest control refers to the process of making a property resistant to pests by sealing off entry points and creating barriers that prevent pests from accessing the area. The goal of proofing is to minimize the chances of infestations by making it difficult or impossible for pests such as rodents, insects, and birds to enter buildings or homes. Our experts have decades of experience in the building trade and know how to help keep both residential and commercial buildings pest-free for years to come.

Common Proofing Methods Include:

Sealing Cracks and Gaps

Closing gaps in walls, foundations, and around windows or doors to prevent pests from squeezing through small openings.

Installing Door Sweeps and Seals

Adding or reinforcing door sweeps and seals to prevent pests from crawling
under doors.

Mesh Screens

Installing fine mesh screens over vents, chimneys, and drains to block pests while allowing airflow.

Repairing Roofs and Eaves

Fixing broken tiles, gaps, or holes in roofs and eaves to stop birds, rodents, or insects from entering.

Pipe and Cable Entry Points

Sealing around pipes, cables, and other utility entry points to eliminate potential entryways for pests.

Netting and Spikes

Using bird netting and spikes
to deter birds from roosting
on buildings.
