To keep mice and other rodents out, The National Pest Management Association recommends that you make sure all holes of larger diameter than a pencil are sealed in your home.  Mice can squeeze through spaces that are as small as a nickel!

Keep your home safe and sanitary by sealing off your crawl space. This will eliminate moisture to prevent mold, and will seal cracks that may act as entranceways for rodents and other pests.

The CleanSpace crawl space system will seal off the vents, door and any other open spaces.  The vapor barrier can also tightly seal your crawl space against moisture.  Find out more about the crawl space encapsulation system today!
