Rodent activity is a year-round challenge in the Greater Sacramento area, with the risk rising during colder months as rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors. From attics and garages to rooflines and crawl spaces, our local technicians understand the specific pest pressures of Sacramento area homes and businesses and know exactly how to keep them protected season after season.
Keep Rodents Out for Good with Professional Rodent Proofing
Rodent Exclusion
In and Around Sacramento
Rodents don't just sneak in and leave. They set up shop, and can quickly become a serious problem for homes and businesses. Once they get inside, they can damage walls, chew wires, and contaminate food. They often leave behind droppings and urine that can carry disease. Getting rid of rodents is one thing. Keeping them from coming back is another. That’s where rodent exclusion comes in.
If you’re looking for professional rodent proofing services in Sacramento, Next Level Pest Control offers complete rodent exclusion services designed to stop rats, mice, and other rodents from ever getting into your space again. Our trained technicians find every possible entry point and seal it to keep your property safe year-round.
What Is Rodent Exclusion?
Rodent exclusion is the process of finding and blocking the small openings that rodents use to enter buildings. Mice and rats are known to squeeze through tiny cracks and chew their way through weak materials.
Entry points can be as small as a quarter-inch and are often found around attics and rooflines, soffits and vents, pipe and conduit penetrations, crawlspace screens, garage weatherstripping, foundation gaps, and door sweeps.
Our rodent exclusion service focuses on identifying these weak spots and using strong, long-lasting materials to seal them. This keeps rodents from returning after removal and avoids the need for constant pest control treatments.
Why Rodents Are Dangerous
Rodents are more than just a nuisance. They can cause serious harm to your home and your health. Some of the most common issues with rodents include:
Fire risk: gnawed electrical wiring
Contamination: droppings/urine on food-adjacent surfaces
Parasites: fleas and ticks that can transmit disease
Property damage: insulation, HVAC lines, vehicle wiring, stored goods
Preventing rodents via exclusion is the smartest and most affordable solution. Stop the entry, stop the problem.
Signs You Need Rodent Exclusion Services
There are many signs that rodents have already made their way inside. These signs can include:
- Droppings along baseboards or inside cabinets
- Scratching or scurrying noises in the walls or attic
- Chewed wires, insulation, or food packaging
- Foul odors from nests or waste
- Greasy marks or footprints near walls
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Rodents can multiply fast, and a small issue can turn into a full-blown infestation in just a few weeks.
How Our Rodent Exclusion Service Works
At Next Level Pest Control, we follow a clear process to make sure your home or building is fully protected:
Inspection: We do a full inspection of your property to find where rodents are entering and hiding. This includes the attic, basement, garage, crawlspaces, and roofline.
Exclusion Plan: We create a detailed plan for sealing all entry points. This includes both current gaps and spots that could become problems in the future.
Sealing and Repair: We use rodent-proof materials like steel mesh, metal flashing, and weather-resistant sealants. Our work is designed to last through heat, rain, and snow.
Sanitizing and Cleanup: We remove nests and waste from affected areas and can apply sanitation treatments to reduce the risk of disease.
Follow-Up: We return for follow-up inspections to make sure the problem is fully resolved and there is no new activity.

Excellent Service
I am able to let the staff know the areas of concern inside & outside of my properties. The flying insects inside my pantry are gone which is the most concern I have. The staff is very professional. The price monthly is reasonable. Curtis responded to my call right away when I was shopping for pest control service. Overall I am very satisfied. I recommend this company to anyone needing the service.”

Curtis was a blessing and a joy to chat with
He was beyond informative about everything he was doing. I’m a person that always wants to know the “why” and he described everything before I even had to ask the question. Thank you, Curtis and Next Level. I look forward to your next visit!

Dealing with Next Level Pest Control was awesome
They are very professional and took the time to fully explain their services. Their services are priced very well. They sprayed both my front and backyards for fleas and sprayed the perimeter of the house for other insects as well. I signed up for services every 2 months. I definitely recommend them

I called several companies but Next Level was a stand out
If you’re here pulling your hair out reading reviews and calling around to figure out which Pest Control company to go with, I’ve done that work and can help you out: go with Next Level! We moved to a new house and saw at least 10 black widows outside. Feeling nervous because we have a cat who is bug obsessed, I called several companies but Next Level was a stand out. Curtis was really easy to talk to on the phone, patiently answered all my questions and explained the process...
Fallon S.
I definitely recommend them!
With summer here, ants started trying to make their way inside, but Ryan came out and took care of the problem. He was professional, thorough, and reassuring, letting me know the issue would be resolved. I also appreciated that he scheduled a follow-up for next week to make sure everything is under control. Excellent service... I definitely recommend them!
