Why Plano Homeowners Call Pestifix for Rodent Exclusion
You’re not looking for just “another pest spray.” If you’re Googling things like “rat removal Plano,” “noises in attic at night,” “mouse in attic Plano,” “rodent proofing near me”, you want the problem found, fixed and prevented. That’s where Pestifix comes in.
We Don’t Just Bait — We Seal
Many companies rely on baits and traps alone. Pestifix focuses on rodent exclusion in Plano: we inspect your attic, roofline, garage and exterior, then seal the entry points rats and mice are actually using.
Attic Noises, Droppings, Chewed Wires
If you’re dealing with rat droppings in the attic, scratching in walls, or activity near the garage, our process is built for those exact situations — not just general bugs.
North Texas Home, North Texas Rodents
Pestifix is based in North Texas and serves Plano regularly. We understand how rodents exploit local construction styles, weep holes, roof returns, and utility penetrations in DFW homes.
Common Signs of Rodents in Plano Homes
These are the exact issues Plano homeowners type into Google before they call us:
“I hear scratching noises in my attic at night”
- Running or scratching sounds above ceilings, especially between 10pm–4am.
- Sounds around soffits, AC lines, or where the roof meets brick.
- Often roof rats or mice moving between attic, walls and exterior gaps.
“Rats in attic Plano” / “mouse in attic”
- Droppings on insulation, around stored boxes or near the attic hatch.
- Chewed wires, plastic, or A/C lines.
- Nest materials like shredded insulation or paper.
“Rodent droppings in garage or pantry”
- Droppings along walls, near the water heater, or under shelving.
- Gnawed pet food bags or stored bird seed.
- Gaps under garage door trim or at framing points.
“Rodent proofing Plano” / “seal my house”
- You’ve had rodents before and are tired of repeat infestations.
- You want entry points sealed, not just rodents killed.
- Our Plano rodent exclusion service is designed for exactly this.
Our 4-Step Rodent Exclusion Process for Plano Homes
Most competitors stop at traps or poison. Pestifix goes further with a documented, exclusion-driven process:
Inspection & Listening
We start by listening to your description of noises and activity. Then we inspect the attic, roofline, soffits, garage and exterior foundation to identify entry points and rodent travel paths.
Entry-Point Mapping
We document gaps in roof returns, weep holes, AC line penetrations, utility entries, vents and garage framing. This is where rodents actually get in — and where many “spray and pray” companies fall short.
Exclusion & Proofing
We seal and reinforce those points with appropriate materials (hardware cloth, metal, sealants, covers) to physically block rats and mice from re-entering your Plano home.
Targeted Trapping & Follow-Up
We set traps where needed to remove rodents that are still inside and schedule follow-up to confirm the issue is resolved. Our goal: no more scratching, no more new droppings.

Rodent Exclusion Plano — Frequently Asked Questions
I hear scratching noises in my Plano attic at night. Is that rats?
It often is. Roof rats and mice are most active at night, so scratching, running or chewing noises above ceilings or in walls are common signs. During a Pestifix rodent inspection, we check your attic, roofline and exterior to confirm what’s going on and then recommend an exclusion plan.
What is rodent exclusion and how is it different from basic rat removal?
Basic rat removal usually means bait or traps. Rodent exclusion means finding and sealing every entry point rodents use so they cannot keep re-entering your home. At Pestifix we combine trapping with physical proofing of the structure, so you’re not stuck in an endless cycle of new rodents.
How long does rodent exclusion take for a typical Plano home?
Most projects can be inspected and excluded in a day, but it depends on the size of the home and how many access points we find. We’ll give you a clear explanation before work starts so you know what to expect.
Do you offer a warranty on the exclusion work?
Yes. We stand behind our exclusion work for an agreed warranty period on the points we seal. If rodents get back in through one of those areas during the warranty term, we return to address it according to the terms of your agreement.
Do you handle general bugs and other pests as well?
Yes, Pestifix offers full pest control services. However, this Plano page is focused specifically on high-value rodent exclusion work — rats in attic, mice in walls, rodent proofing and related issues. If you need general pest control, we can still help and will guide you to the right plan.
