Written and Photographed
Every entry point located, photographed and listed by position, with the species identification and the reasoning behind it.
Walked, Not Glanced At
The roofline from a ladder, the void entered where it is safe, the entire foundation line on hands and knees.
Priced Line by Line
Work is quoted against that list item by item, so the number is legible rather than a single figure.
Rodent Survey and Report
A survey is the only part of this trade where you can reasonably expect to know exactly what you are buying before you buy it. Ours is a full walk of the property, a written record of what was found and where, and photographs of every entry point — handed over whether or not you go on to have the work done.
What Actually Gets Walked
The roofline
The whole roofline, from a ladder, not from the ground with binoculars. Tile-to-fascia gaps, ridge and hip ends, attic and gable vents, plumbing vent penetrations, the air-conditioning line set, any solar penetrations, and every point where a tree or wall gives a climbing animal access.
The roof void
Entered and walked wherever it is safe and physically possible. Runways read from flattened insulation, droppings sampled for species and age, nesting located, chewed wiring photographed, daylight noted where an opening shows through from inside.
The foundation line
The entire perimeter, slowly. Weep screed, utility penetrations, hose bibs, dryer vents, expansion joints, and where the grade has been built up against the wall.
The garage and any outbuilding
Door seal, jambs, header, shared wall penetrations and, critically, whether the ceiling void connects to the house attic.
The grounds
The things feeding the problem: palm skirts, dense ivy, fruit trees dropping unpicked, woodpiles, bin storage, pet food, bird feeders, irrigation leaks, and what the property boundary backs onto.
What You Get
A written report listing every entry point by location, with a photograph of each, the species identified and the reasoning behind that identification, an assessment of how established the population is, and the conducive conditions that are keeping the pressure up. Where work is needed it is priced against that list, item by item, so the quote is legible rather than a single number.
Where the property is fine, the report says so. We would rather write a short report and lose a treatment than manufacture a problem, and a survey that never finds anything wrong would be worth nothing to anybody.
Why It Is Worth Doing First
Because the alternative is guessing, and guessing is expensive. Species determines where traps go and at what height. Entry points determine the scope of the sealing work and therefore most of the cost. Whether the garage ceiling is open to the attic determines whether roofline work will hold. None of that is knowable from a phone call, and quoting a rodent job over the phone is quoting a job nobody has looked at.
The report is the product here: Rodent Control Chula Vista photographs every opening and prices the repairs line by line, so you can take the document elsewhere if you would rather.
Property Purchases and Sales
We are asked for these ahead of a sale reasonably often, and the report is written to be handed to a third party. It records what was found, what it means and what it would take to put right. If a building is sound, that is a useful thing to have documented before it is asked for rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions
A written report listing every entry point by location with a photograph of each, the species identified and why, an assessment of how established the population is, and the conducive conditions keeping pressure up. Yours to keep regardless of whether you book any work.
Then the report says so. We would rather write a short report and lose a treatment than manufacture a problem — a survey that never came back clean would be worth nothing to anybody.
For something very small and obvious, sometimes. For anything involving a roof void or a whole-building seal, no, because the number would be invented. We would rather give you a real figure after looking than a low one on the phone and a revision later.
Yes, and we are asked for it fairly often. The report is written to be handed to a third party: what was found, what it means, and what it would take to put right. Worth having documented before it is asked for rather than after.
Most residential properties take between one and two hours done properly. A large or complex building, or one where the void is difficult to access, takes longer. It is not a ten-minute look round.

What Gets Covered
Roofline, void, foundation, garage and grounds
The whole roofline from a ladder rather than the ground. The roof void entered and walked, with runways read from flattened insulation and droppings sampled for species and age. The entire perimeter slowly — weep screed, utility penetrations, hose bibs, dryer vents, expansion joints, and where grade has been built against the wall. The garage, including whether its ceiling connects to the attic. Then the grounds: palm skirts, ivy, dropped fruit, woodpiles, bins, pet food, irrigation leaks, and what the boundary backs onto.
