Every year, rodents tunnel beneath decks, porches, sheds, additions, patios, and foundations looking for a way inside. BurrowBlock™ is Eco Haven’s engineered below-grade exclusion system — a permanent physical barrier installed beneath the soil, with no poisons and no repeated treatments.
Traditional pest control focuses on killing rodents after they’ve entered. BurrowBlock stops them before they ever get in.
Mice, rats, chipmunks, voles, and groundhogs dig beneath the visible edge of decks, additions, sheds, and slabs, then follow the underside of the structure until they find a way into the crawlspace or framing. From the surface, everything looks sealed.
Rodents tunneling under decks, mice entering beneath additions, rat burrowing along foundations, groundhog damage under sheds and slabs, crawlspace intrusion — and recurring rodent problems despite trapping.
Removing rodents doesn’t solve the reason they entered. If access remains, new rodents simply replace the old ones — and a single abandoned groundhog burrow becomes a move-in-ready den for rats, skunks, and mice.
Installed beneath the soil, BurrowBlock creates a permanent physical barrier that blocks the tunnel routes burrowing animals actually use, then integrates into decks, additions, sheds, and slabs so there is no seam to exploit.
The heavy-duty galvanized barrier is designed for Northeastern freeze/thaw ground movement. Targeted excavation only — and your landscaping is restored when the work is done.
We inspect the perimeter of the structure and identify active burrows, travel routes, and vulnerable below-grade transitions.
Only the sections that need protection are opened — targeted excavation, not a torn-up yard.
The heavy-duty galvanized barrier is set below grade to stop digging wildlife before it reaches the structure.
The barrier is tied into decks, additions, sheds, and slabs, and above-grade transition points are sealed when needed.
Soil, stone, and plantings are put back so the finished installation stays out of sight.
A final inspection confirms every targeted access point is permanently closed.
A permanent solution to burrowing wildlife — not an endless cycle of trapping.
The barrier blocks burrowing mammals below grade — before structural entry, not after.
A humane, prevention-first approach that ends the trap-and-return cycle instead of managing it.
Heavy-duty galvanized steel designed for freeze/thaw ground movement in the Northeast.
Only the vulnerable sections are opened, and landscaping is restored after installation.
Each section integrates into decks, additions, sheds, slabs, and foundations with no seams to exploit.
Backed by Eco Haven’s workmanship warranty when installed as part of a complete exclusion system.
Like any engineered building product, BurrowBlock is defined by its materials and installation method — not by a service visit.
Poison-free protection built into the building — and backed by our guarantee. Serving Upstate NY & Southwest VT.
BurrowBlock is engineered for burrowing mammals of all sizes — mice, rats, chipmunks, voles, and groundhogs. The barrier depth and construction are designed around how these animals actually dig.
No. We excavate only the targeted sections where the barrier is installed, and we restore soil, stone, and plantings when the work is done. Most installations are invisible once complete.
Any wildlife currently denning under the structure is humanely removed or allowed to exit before the barrier is closed. We never seal an animal inside.
The barrier is heavy-duty galvanized steel designed for frost climates, and installations are backed by our workmanship warranty. It is built as a permanent part of the property.
Trapping removes the animal, not the opening. As long as the burrow route stays open, new rodents replace the old ones. BurrowBlock eliminates the access itself.
