Rodent Proofing Services in Cork

Eliminating rats or mice is only part of the solution. Without proper prevention, rodents can return weeks or months later through the same access points. At Cork Rats & Mice Pest Control Service, we provide professional rodent-proofing services throughout Cork to secure properties against future infestations.

Rodents are persistent and opportunistic. Rats can squeeze through gaps the size of a coin, and mice can enter through openings as small as 6mm. Once they find a reliable entry route, they will continue to exploit it unless it is properly sealed.

Why Rodent Proofing Is Essential

Many infestations recur because entry points remain untreated. Common access areas include:

• Gaps around drainage pipes
• Broken air vents
• Damaged roof tiles
• Gaps under doors
• Cracked brickwork
• Utility entry points
• Damaged drain covers

Simply placing bait without addressing structural weaknesses often results in repeat infestations.

Our Rodent Proofing Process

1. Comprehensive External Inspection

We examine the full exterior perimeter of the property to identify vulnerabilities.

2. Internal Access Point Review

Lofts, basements and service areas are inspected for internal weaknesses.

3. Identification of Structural Risks

We highlight specific entry areas and provide recommendations.

4. Sealing & Prevention Advice

Where appropriate, we install protective mesh, seal small gaps and advise on repairs.
