Set Up Entry Point Sealing

Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps. Most people don’t realize how many tiny openings exist around their property. Our technicians inspect every corner of your home or business, from doors, windows, and vents to pipes and foundations and professionally seal entry points. This ensures rodents can’t sneak inside, keeping your property safe all season.

Protect Doors, Garages & Loading Areas

Cold-weather rodents often enter through doors, garages, or commercial loading areas. We make sure every exterior access point is properly sealed and reinforced. For businesses, this is especially important, as busy entrances and delivery bays are common entry points for mice and rats.

Rodent-Proof Food Storage

Rodents are naturally drawn to food sources. Whether it’s a pantry in your North Vancouver home or storage areas in a restaurant or office, we help secure food properly. Using professional-grade solutions, we ensure storage areas are rodent-proofed and closely monitored, reducing the risk of contamination and infestations.

Clutter & Nesting Management

Rodents love clutter because it gives them safe hiding spots. Our team works to identify and secure areas like attics, crawl spaces, garages, and storage rooms. For businesses, we provide guidance and solutions for warehouses, stockrooms, and other commercial spaces where pests could settle during winter.

Moisture Control

Water sources attract rodents. Leaks, clogged gutters, condensation, or damp basements can become a hotspot for winter pests. Phantom Pest Control inspects your property, identifies moisture risks, and provides professional solutions to keep your space dry and rodent-free.

Attic, Crawl Space & Utility Room Checks

Many infestations start in hidden areas. Our experts check attics, crawl spaces, and utility rooms for early signs of activity, including droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting materials. We also address weak points where rodents can enter, ensuring your property stays secure through the season.

Outdoor Property Protection

Rodents often start outside before moving indoors. Leaf piles, woodpiles, and overgrown shrubs near buildings can attract pests. We evaluate your property’s exterior and make adjustments to minimize rodent activity, helping protect both homes and commercial buildings.
