Top-Quality Rodent Proofing Solutions
To prevent rodents, including rats, mice and squirrels, from entering your property and spreading diseases such as Hantavirus, it’s essential to seal up any entry points rodents might use. This includes gaps under doors, damaged drains, or even small holes that enable rodents to squeeze through. By blocking these access points, you reduce the risk of a rodent infestation. Alongside full rodent proofing, Copley Pest Solutions can provide CCTV drain surveys to check for rat entry points, and then fit rat drain blockers and other proofing throughout your property.
For homes and business premises, we offer effective rodent proofing and control measures. Covering Bradford, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds, Halifax, West Yorkshire and other regions of the UK, including Sheffield, Blackpool, Manchester, York and beyond, we can prevent rodents from causing significant property damage and public health issues.

Every property is unique, and as such every rodent proofing project requires an individual approach. Thankfully, Copley offers a free site survey for our commercial clients, and can find all the potential entry points that rodents might use to gain entry.
Our team can then suggest the best rodent proofing methods that will keep rats, mice and squirrels out without compromising on the aesthetics or structural integrity of your property.

FAQ
Rodent Proofing FAQs
What Are The Dangers Of Rodent Infestations?
Rodents, including rats, mice and squirrels, can spread diseases, including Hantavirus, Salmonella and even Plague, which causes a public health issue. Additionally, rodents can chew through a range of items, including walls, floors, doors, window frames, beams and more. If rodents bite through live electrical wires, they can cause a fire risk. Rodents use pheromones to show other members of their species that they’ve found shelter and access to a food source, so a single sighting can quickly turn into an infestation. As such, it’s important that you work to stop rats and other rodents from gaining access to your space.
What Material Can Rodents Not Chew Through?
Rodents struggle to chew through metal, including steel and iron, which is why Copley uses welded steel mesh to proof many properties. Rodents also find it hard to chew through concrete, which is why we fill in brickwork with cement to block potential entry points on the outside of your building.
Can You Fit Rodent Proofing Solutions Yourself?
DIY rodent proofing is often ineffective, as you may not have the right knowledge of rodent behaviour to be able to prevent rats and other rodents from gaining access. If rodent proofing measures aren’t fitted properly, and all potential entry points aren’t filled, then rodents will make their way inside. Rodents, particularly mice and rats, are very persistent, which is why you need to work with Copley to completely seal your space to deter mice and other rodent pests.
Is Rodent Proofing Worth It?
Rodent proofing might come with an initial cost, but it is affordable in the long-term as it can reduce costs such as repairs to your property. For commercial premises, rodent infestations can contaminate food and cause non-compliance with health and safety regulations. This could result in site shutdowns and reputational damage, which could lead to loss of customers. As such, professional rodent proofing from Copley can be an ideal way to save money in the long run. Book your site survey today.
