Pest Exclusion for Virginia Beach Homes
The most reliable way to keep pests out is to close the doors they use, and older coastal homes are full of them.
Our technicians seal the gaps, vents, and sweeps that let mice, insects, and other pests into your Virginia Beach home.

Coastal homes settle and age, and that opens gaps around pipes, vents, chimneys, and doors that pests exploit. Mice slip through openings the width of a dime, insects follow the same cracks, and vented crawl spaces under older Bayside homes invite rodents in. Treatments knock down what is inside, but without sealing, new pests keep finding the same routes. Exclusion is what makes the fix last.
We inspect the whole exterior to map every likely entry point, then install vent screens, door sweeps, chimney caps, and durable sealant where pests get in. The goal is a home that stays closed off long after the treatment is done. Pairing exclusion with routine service gives the strongest protection. Twenty-six-plus years of sealing coastal homes stand behind every exclusion job, along with our Pest-Free Guarantee.

Rodent cleanup and attic-to-crawl-space care in Virginia Beach
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.
Rodent repellent application around your perimeter — included at no additional charge
Every membership subscription service now includes a rodent repellent application around the perimeter of your home. On its own it is $75 per application — with a membership it comes with your regular service at no extra cost.

| 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.
