Pest Exclusion for Norfolk Homes
Keeping pests out of a Norfolk home starts with closing the gaps, vents, and cracks that older construction leaves open.
Our technicians seal those openings so mice and insects lose their way inside for good.
Read more about Pest Exclusion in Norfolk
Mice and rodents slip through gaps the width of a dime, and Norfolk's aged homes are full of them around vents, soffits, and utility lines. Raised foundations and rare basements add crawl-space openings that pests treat like open doors. Homes in Downtown and Willoughby with decades-old trim and masonry are especially leaky. Sealing those points is what makes any treatment last.
We inspect the exterior and crawl space to map every gap, then install vent screens, door sweeps, chimney caps, and sealed penetrations. Done right, exclusion keeps rodents and insects from finding a way back in season after season. With more than 26 years working Hampton Roads homes since 2000, we stand behind the sealing with our Pest-Free Guarantee.

Rodent cleanup and attic-to-crawl-space care in Norfolk
Trapping and exclusion remove the rodents; cleanup removes what they left behind. We can remove contaminated nesting material and use a fogging machine for disinfectant treatments in attics and crawl spaces when the space and materials call for it. In some homes, up to 40% of the air you breathe can come through attic and crawl-space pathways, so those areas deserve more than a trap and a quick sweep.
Infestation cleanup
Droppings, urine-marked nesting material, and damaged insulation are assessed and cleaned up after the rodent control work.
Disinfectant fogging
Where appropriate, a fogging machine helps distribute a disinfectant treatment through affected attic and crawl-space areas after contaminated material is addressed.
One family of companies
Universal Insulation Doctor handles damaged insulation, while Universal Duct Cleaning cleans affected ductwork. That is the Total Home Health promise: one coordinated path from control to restoration.

| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.
