Protecting What You've Built Starts with the Right Rodent Control Team
Older homes with mature trees, wood-frame construction, and established landscaping create real vulnerabilities. Rodent control isn't a reactive chore for properties like these; it's a necessary part of protecting structural integrity and keeping your household running without disruption. Gaps in aging foundations, rooflines, and utility penetrations give rats and mice easy access, and once inside, the damage to insulation, wiring, and stored materials adds up fast.
Here's how Witt handles the process:
- A licensed technician inspects the full interior and exterior of your home, identifying active rodent signs, entry points, and infestation sources.
- Entry points are sealed using professional-grade materials including caulk, wire mesh, and expanding foam to stop further access.
- Traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, and monitoring devices are placed in strategic, discreet locations throughout the property.
- A follow-up visit within 7 to 14 days covers a full re-inspection, trap checks, rodent removal, and any additional treatment needed.
If additional visits are needed during your guarantee period, Witt returns at no charge.

Every Pest in Your Home, One Company to Call
When you hire Witt Pest Management, you're not just getting rodent control. You're getting a team that treats for all pests, indoors and out, so there's no need to juggle multiple companies or explain your home's history to someone new every season.
One call, one consistent crew, one bill. Whether it's the mice in your walls or the bugs turning up alongside them, it's all handled under the same roof.
Sealing Entry Points to Keep Rodents Out for Good
Rodents don't need a wide opening to get inside. A gap around a pipe, a crack along a foundation sill, or a deteriorated soffit edge is enough for rats and mice to move freely in and out of a home.
Witt addresses this directly after inspection by closing the access points rodents rely on, starting with the structural gaps most commonly overlooked until an infestation is already underway:
- Gaps around plumbing and utility penetrations sealed with professional-grade caulk
- Open voids and cracks along foundation walls packed with wire mesh or expanding foam
- Deteriorated weatherstripping and door sweeps that leave ground-level access points exposed
- Roof and soffit entry points where rodents gain access to attic and wall voids
- Recommendations for major structural repairs noted in your service report when larger issues are identified
This service is provided on a limited basis where necessary and feasible, focusing on the gaps where rodent pressure is most immediate. Closing these openings is one of the most reliable ways to prevent new rodents from entering after a treatment, and it supports the broader monitoring and exclusion work that makes long-term Fox Chapel effective.
