Pest Exclusion for Yorktown Homes
Keeping pests out for good takes more than spraying; it takes sealing the gaps, vents, and openings they use to get in.
Our technicians handle exclusion work on Yorktown homes so mice, rodents, and insects can't find their way inside.
Read more about Pest Exclusion in Yorktown
Older ranches and colonials around Historic Yorktown settle over the decades, opening gaps around foundations, utility lines, crawl-space vents, and rooflines. Mice slip through a dime-sized hole, and rodents and insects follow the same paths in through unscreened vents, worn door sweeps, and open chimneys. Wooded lots put trees close to the eaves, giving climbing pests an easy route to the attic. Sealing these openings is the only way to stop the cycle instead of treating the same intruders every season.
We inspect the whole exterior to map every gap and entry point, then close them off using vent screens, fresh door sweeps, chimney caps, and gnaw-resistant materials that rodents cannot bite through. That exclusion work turns the home into a barrier so treatments last longer and problems stop repeating. Backed by 26 years serving Hampton Roads, we build a seal that holds.

Rodent cleanup and attic-to-crawl-space care in Yorktown
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.

| What to compare | Universal Pest Control | Most pest control companies |
|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday. Simple, predictable monthly payments. | Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender. |
| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| 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.
