Services
Rodent Exclusion is a preventive service aimed at keeping your home free from rodents. Our process involves finding and sealing potential entry points—like cracks, gaps, and holes—with tough materials that resist gnawing. This approach not only blocks access but also reduces the factors that attract rodents, offering long-term security. Rodent Exclusion prioritizes prevention over reaction, making it a more reliable solution for protecting your home. We also offer professional tips to help you maintain your property’s defenses, ensuring ongoing peace of mind.
Our tailored approach tackles the toughest infestations and stops them from returning. We’re so confident in our results that we provide an extended warranty. Start protecting your home today by booking a free inspection and receiving a complimentary estimate. If several treatments are needed, our rat exclusion specialists will design a custom package to match your needs and budget. Plus, each Alley Cat rat control service is supported by our lifetime rodent-free guarantee.
Alley Cat's skilled technicians specialize in removing house mice from any part of your home, whether they're in the walls, basement, attic, or other areas. We begin with a free inspection, identifying signs and high-risk zones. If an infestation is detected, our mice exclusion team will provide a free estimate.
While attic insulation keeps your home cozy, it also offers a perfect nesting spot for rodents. These pests reproduce quickly, with litters of 32-84 babies every few weeks. Unfortunately, insulation also soaks up urine and feces, which can lead to mold, mildew, and bacteria. Even more concerning is that the odor from droppings can attract more rodents to your home. This smell can linger, making it crucial to tackle the infestation thoroughly to prevent further issues.
Promotions
Alley Cat offers a comprehensive Free Inspection to assess rodent activity in your home, identifying potential entry points and providing expert recommendations for effective exclusion and prevention. This detailed assessment ensures you have a clear understanding of the situation before committing to any services.

Just had Miro out to help with a recent bloom of rats infesting our home. I had gone through the house and found every spot they could get in and installed wire mesh. That pissed them off. We had a rat slab installed a couple of years ago but I decided to have Alley Cat look where they might be getting in from outside. Within minutes, he discovered 3 areas they we penitrating our basement.
One I would have never discovered. Since I had a bit of an investment, he told me what I needed to do, gave me a suit and gloves and gave me his card if I ever needed additional support. The previous quote from another company was $2500 and wouldn't show me where the rats were coming in from. Milo rocks! I feel confident I repaired all entry points and he was very compliary of the original work.
He was honest and helpful. Will use them when the buggers return. They always return, knowing I'll get a complete and honest evaluation. I can't say enough about the professionalism of Miro, who represents Alley Cat. A Service.

We had what I was sure was a moose move in with us- it sounded big. Alley Cat quickly found the burrow the moose had dug, filled it, reinforced it with a wire mesh barrier, and reinforced the mesh barriers they'd earlier placed around our home (which were intact). (They also assured us it was a rat, but I'm sticking to my moose story.) Alley Cat is great with scheduling, they're great with communication, they show up on time when they say they'll be there, they know what they're doing (moose or rat, it's gone), their prices are fair and their customer service is excellent.

My experience was perfect from start to finish. When making an appointment, the agent was very kind, understanding, took the time to listen to my issue, and got me an appointment for soon! The Technician was superb, communicated excellently, was polite and kind and considerate of me and my property. Best exclusion service I've ever experienced!

Very responsive even to post-sales support call. Friendly response. Also verified efficacy of their rodent exclusion solution. One quibble: told them to come prepared with a very tall ladder to reach attic but they were inadequately prepared. Had to use my ladder which may not have had the safety features that theirs did.

I had rodents in my attic since the big storm. The gentleman who did the free estimate was Very knowledgeable and spent time with me to discuss what he was finding and next steps. The team coming out to address the problem were very thorough. Jose R. was patient answering all of my questions and communicating through the whole process. I am thrilled to have a rat free home again.

And they come back regularly to check traps and entrance points. Everyone was so professional but also so kind.

I had a rat infestation in my crawl space and garage. Vlad came by and explained everything to me and gave me a very detailed estimate specifying exactly what they will do to mitigate my rat problem. They offer a three year warranty which was important to me and an indication of their confidence in their work. We were scheduled for a week later and the crew came by, a lead foreman and three workers.
They laid out protective coverings on my floor and worked quickly to get the job done in a few hours. They cleaned, sanitized, plugged openings, removed infected insulation and replaced with new, and set traps. The next day, two rats were caught in the traps, and I called them and scheduled someone to come by to remove the bodies, reset the traps and look for other issues. I would recommend their services.

Truly excellent service. They found evidence of rodent activity in a packed closet near the kitchen that we weren't expecting to be part of the process, and they carefully removed everything that was piled in there (a lot!), cleaned with care and then put everything back and let us know we'd be wanting to clean the clothes and things before we did anything else with them.
It is important to me to do things like this right the first time, and their attitude, focus, efficiency, thoroughness.and 3 year guarantee made me confident that they feel the same way. What. A. Relief! Very grateful.

The technicians from Alley Cat were very professional and did a thorough job sealing the house against further rat intrusion. That was about 2 years ago. Just recently I found a rat caught in a rat trap so I called them back. They honored the warranty and came to re-inspect, fixed a few spots and lay more traps.

I am very pleased with the services I have received from Alleycat. They had to return today because I heard the rat chewing in my wall again & thoroughly checked every possible area for more possible entries. Found 2 spots & immediately sealed them. So grateful for the 3 year warranty! If you don't want poisons used in your home, this is the company to call.

The start of 2023 was very wet. Winter rains drove rats inside my basement through small holes left by the previous owners remodel. Unfortunately for me this led to a full scale rodent infestation. They built nests, multiplied and eventually ate their way into the HVAC ducts. I needed professional extermination as well as HVAC replacement. I received 5 quotes from different services and Alley Cat was the best and most thorough.
They also squeezed me in to a busy schedule knowing we had no heat. The work was extensive and they did a fantastic job exterminating, eliminating entry points and sanitizing. They were also able to replace my HVAC quickly and professionally. They provided a warranty of their work upon completion for peace of mind. I seriously hope I never have this problem again. But if I did, I would call Alley Cat in a heartbeat. 5 stars, would recommend to a friend or family. Thanks!

So far, we were happy with the service. When the workers did some damage to the ceiling while in the attic, they immediately set up an appointment to send their contractor to make the repairs. In about 2 to 3 weeks they will be back to recheck the traps and any other possible pest reoccurance. Let's see what happens from here. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality. More

I highly recommend Alley Cat! The entire staff, from Vladi for the estimate, Cesar the foreman and the receptionists were all exceptional in their professionalism, responsiveness, work quality and communication. They came in and cleared out the garage and crawl space of rodents and droppings, sanitized and sealed the openings. The team is friendly and efficient. Good experience with Alley Cat.

We had a bad rat infestation in our attic in 2017. Alley Cat came out for an estimate, showed us pics of the findings, and discussed what needed to be done and why. We had to do a full attic and crawl space cleanup, new insulation in the attic and new air ducts, and many entry points sealed. They were professional, punctual, and respectful of our home while the work was being done. And we are still rat free in 2023! I highly recommend their services.

Alley Cat gave us an immediate response, quick bid, and relatively near job date during peak rat season. Their efforts at communication were almost excessive (lots of repetitive texts and email reminders) and I appreciated the thoughtfulness of getting an email the morning of service showing the technician's location while enroute to us (even though it showed him 15 miles away the whole time he was at our house).
Both Lee and Ismael left a great impression, answered all my questions and were as helpful as they could be. The big job of cleaning out, re-insulating, and rat-proofing both attic and sub-floor crawlspace, and patching entry points around the outside of the house, was done in one day-which was impressive. And after which they left no trace of themselves inside the house, and more importantly, no rats!
My only complaint, really, would be the amount of shiny black spray foam left around the outside of the house. It was used to fill holes near the foundation and under the eaves, but zero attention was paid to the aesthetics, so we now have what appear to be shiny black mushrooms ballooning out at various points from our light-colored house. Obviously we hired a rodent company rather than a contractor, so I didn't expect a "pretty" job, but it would have been nice to have been offered info about our alternatives for patching the visible areas of the house, before the work was completed. All in all I would use them again, and have already recommended them to others. Thanks, Alley Cat, for the de-rat-ification!

Alley Cat did a complete rat abatement in our house. They had to remove and reinstall floor and ceiling insulation and fix a few ducts due to the severity of the infestation. Our house is now rat-free and clean, and Alley Cat's 3-year warranty ensures that it will stay so. Their people are professional, courteous, flexible, and good communicators.
Their prices are competitive and they do a thorough job with attention to detail and minimum impact on the living space. I would recommend Alley Cat without reservations to anyone with rodent problems.

The Alley Cat team was professional and thorough. They were very knowledgeable and took the time necessary to get the job done. Their work comes with a 3 year guarantee so that on the off chance that we experience a rat problem again in that time, we know that Alley Cat will take care of it. Honestly, considering their attention to detail, I think it's unlikely we will have to deal with rodents again!

I'm very impressed! From the moment our interaction began Alley Cat was professional and responsive. The consultation was extremely educational, the rep knowledgeable and the proposal clear and concise. The team arrived as scheduled and worked like a well oiled machine. This was clearly not their first rat rodeo! They kept me informed throughout the process and documented the project with photos. I'm looking forward to receiving the "after" pictures for comparison. But, most of all I'm looking forward to enjoying the absence of rats! I highly recommend their service.
