A fixed-scope field service that finds entry points, seals the building, traps remaining rodents, and sanitizes contaminated spaces.

Medium opportunity (61%)
Homeowners often address mice or rats with traps or poison but fail to stop the entry path, causing recurring infestations. Improper sealing materials can be defeated by rodents or obstruct required ventilation, while poison can leave carcasses inside walls. Droppings in attics, garages, and crawlspaces also require careful cleanup to avoid airborne contamination.
Provide an inspection-first rodent exclusion service covering entry-point mapping, rodent-resistant sealing, indoor trap placement, scheduled trap checks, and final sanitation. Start with a fixed-price inspection and exclusion package, then offer cleanup and seasonal prevention visits based on property conditions. Use mechanical or live-capture methods where appropriate and avoid routine indoor poison placement.
The signals show repeated homeowner frustration with recurring infestations, uncertainty about safe removal, and demand for providers who solve both the animals and their access points. The business can launch locally with standard field equipment and established exclusion techniques rather than requiring substantial product development.
