Common questions

Why are roof rats common in Sacramento residential attics?
Sacramento possesses an urban forest canopy and extensive water corridors like the American River that provide abundant forage, allowing roof rats to easily travel across interconnected tree limbs onto residential roofs.
What is the minimum fee for rodent exclusion work in Sacramento?
TrueNorth Pest Management maintains a $200 minimum service fee, which covers small, single-aperture closures such as a damaged exterior crawlspace hatch latch or isolated pipe penetration seal.
Does homeowner insurance in Sacramento County cover rodent exclusion?
Standard homeowners insurance policies in Sacramento County classify rodent damage as a preventable maintenance issue, which means exclusion repairs and trap sequences are typically out-of-pocket expenses.
How quickly can an attic exclusion be finished on a Land Park home?
Mechanical sealing on a typical Land Park home is completed in 1 to 2 working days, followed by a 7 to 14-day trapping phase to ensure complete rodent elimination from inside the structure.
Can expanding foam alone stop roof rats in Sacramento crawlspaces?
Expanding foam alone cannot stop roof rats because their incisors cut through cured polyurethane in minutes; all exclusion openings require structural backing with 1/4-inch galvanized steel mesh before sealant application.
