Our most popular rodent proofing service. Most homes have dozens of small openings rodents use — and homeowners never notice them. Essential Seal™ systematically locates and seals those vulnerabilities with commercial-grade materials, backed by a snap trap program and follow-up visits.
When homeowners find droppings, they go looking for “the hole.” In our inspections, there is almost never just one.
Every pipe, wire, vent, and utility line that passes through the building envelope is a potential rodent doorway — and a mouse only needs an opening the size of a dime. Most homes we inspect have dozens.
Pipe penetrations, utility entries, wire penetrations, foundation gaps, corner transitions, garage entry points, basement openings, chimney tie-ins, and roofline vulnerabilities where applicable.
Sealing the one hole you can see leaves every opening you can’t. Rodents chew through soft materials like spray foam or simply relocate to the next gap — the endless cycle of trapping and repeat service calls.
Our technicians work through the building envelope methodically, sealing accessible entry points with commercial-grade materials selected for chewing wildlife — not hardware-store foam.
Every Essential Seal includes a snap trap program and follow-up trapping visits to remove rodents already inside — humanely, with no poisons, so nothing dies in your walls.
We inspect the full building envelope — foundation, utility penetrations, garage, basement, and roofline where applicable — and document every vulnerability.
Accessible entry points are sealed by trained exclusion technicians, not sprayed over or stuffed shut.
Every seal uses materials selected for long-term durability against chewing rodents.
A targeted trap program removes any rodents already inside the structure — humanely and without poison.
We return to check traps, confirm activity has stopped, and verify the exclusion is performing.
One defined program, consistently delivered — which is why it’s our most requested rodent proofing service.
A top-to-bottom review of the building envelope that maps every accessible entry point before sealing begins.
Dozens of entry points addressed systematically — foundation to roofline where applicable.
Sealing materials rated for chewing wildlife, chosen for durability rather than convenience.
Rodents already inside are removed with a targeted, poison-free trap program.
Return visits check traps and verify the home has gone quiet before the program closes out.
Essential Seal services are backed by Eco Haven’s workmanship warranty, detailed in your service agreement.
Like any engineered building product, Essential Seal 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.
EcoSeal™ is a custom-fabricated metal barrier for the siding-to-foundation transition — a single high-risk construction detail. Essential Seal™ addresses the many smaller openings throughout the structure and includes a trapping program. Many homes benefit from both.
Yes. Every Essential Seal includes a snap trap program and follow-up trapping visits to remove rodents already inside. We don’t use poisons, so nothing dies in your walls.
Most homes we inspect have dozens — pipe and wire penetrations, foundation gaps, corner transitions, garage and basement openings. Homeowners have usually noticed one or two.
For first-time or seasonal mouse issues on homes without widespread roofline damage, usually yes. Homes with roofline or below-grade vulnerabilities are better served by pairing it with Roofline Wrap™, RidgeGuard™, or BurrowBlock™.
The exclusion stops new entry immediately; the snap trap program clears any rodents already inside over the following visits. Follow-ups verify the home has gone quiet.
