Why We Don't Use Poison for Rodent Control in Dallas

Traditional pest control companies often rely on poison in homes and attics to manage rats and mice, but this approach creates even bigger problems. Poison does not fix the root issue of rodents finding entry points into your Dallas home or business.

Why poison isn't the answer

  • Rodents die inside attic, leading to foul odors.
  • Poison can attract secondary pests like flies and maggots.
  • Doesn’t stop new rodents from entering—only exclusion does.

At Critter Guardian, we focus on humane trapping and professional animal exclusion services in North Dallas. No toxins, no mystery smells, just lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rat & Squirrel Prevention

What is rodent exclusion?

Rodent exclusion is the process of sealing current and potential entry points around your home so rats, squirrels, and other wildlife can’t get inside. It’s the most effective long-term prevention method.

How do rats and squirrels get into attics?

Common entry points include roof vents, damaged soffits, fascia gaps, roof returns, chimneys, and utility penetrations (like AC lines and plumbing). Rats can fit through surprisingly small gaps—often about the size of a quarter.

Is prevention necessary even if I don’t have animals now?

Yes. Proactive sealing is the best way to avoid costly damage later. Prevention is typically far cheaper (and far less stressful) than trapping, repairs, and sanitation after an infestation starts.

Will I still need trapping if I seal my home?

Not always. If there’s no current activity, exclusion alone can be enough. If there are signs of active entry, we may combine sealing with trapping to ensure everything is fully removed and can’t return.

Do you seal all entry points during exclusion?

Yes. We inspect the roofline, vents, soffits, crawlspaces, garage areas, and utility penetrations, then seal vulnerable gaps using rodent-proof materials like steel mesh and metal flashing.

What materials do you use for exclusion work?

We use chew-proof, rust-resistant materials such as galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, and exterior-grade sealants designed to hold up long-term in Texas weather.

Is rodent exclusion safe for pets and kids?

Absolutely. Exclusion is a physical, non-toxic solution—no chemicals and no poisons—so it’s safe for families, pets, and your home.

Do you guarantee your exclusion work?

Yes. Our preventative exclusion work comes with a warranty. If an animal re-enters through one of our sealed areas during the warranty period, we’ll return and correct it at no cost.
