“We had roof rats in the attic for two winters before calling Resolve. David identified seven separate entry points across the main house and detached garage — three of which I never would have found myself. Sealed everything, placed bait stations, and we have been rat-free for 18 months.”

Hunters Creek Homeowners Rely on Resolve for Rodent Control
Roof Rat Specialists Multi-Structure Exclusion Satisfaction Guaranteed
“The pecan trees along our back fence are the roof rat highway for our whole block. David explained exactly how they were getting from the trees to the roof and found the entry point behind the chimney flashing. Quick, thorough, and genuinely effective.”
“I appreciated that David treated the main house, guest house, and detached garage as one connected problem. The other company I called only quoted the main structure. David was right — treating all three together is the only way to actually solve it.”
Rodent Control Services for Hunters Creek Estate Properties
Comprehensive exclusion and control programs for multi-structure properties with mature tree canopy.
Full Structural Inspection
Every potential entry point is identified — soffits, fascia, roof vents, gable vents, utility penetrations, chimney gaps, and any trim or transition point where roof rats can enter.
Permanent Exclusion Sealing
Entry points are sealed with hardware cloth, copper mesh, sheet metal, and appropriate caulk — materials that roof rats cannot chew through.
Tree-to-Roofline Contact Assessment
Branches and canopy elements that provide direct roof access are identified and noted — enabling tree trimming recommendations that reduce ongoing access.
Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations
Stations placed at ground-level travel routes and elevated activity areas — safe around children and pets, effective at reducing the local rodent population.
Multi-Structure Coordination
Main house, guest quarters, garages, and outbuildings treated as a single unified system — preventing rats from relocating between buildings when one is sealed.
Attic Cleanup and Sanitization
Removal of droppings, nesting material, and insulation damaged by rodent activity — reducing disease risk and eliminating harborage that attracts new infestations.

Case Study
Case Study: Multi-Structure Roof Rat Exclusion in Hunters Creek Village
The Problem
A Hunters Creek homeowner reported scratching sounds in the attic of the main house and the detached garage over two consecutive winters. Bait placed by a previous company had reduced activity temporarily but the rats always returned. The property had six mature pecan trees, three of which had branches contacting the roofline at multiple points.
Our Solution
David inspected all rooflines, soffits, and attic access areas across both structures and identified eleven entry points — seven in the main house and four in the garage. He sealed all entry points with hardware cloth and sheet metal, placed tamper-resistant bait stations at four ground-level travel routes, and documented all tree-to-roofline contact branches for trimming recommendations.
The Outcome
Attic activity stopped within two weeks of the exclusion treatment. Follow-up at 60 days confirmed no new entry. The homeowner arranged tree trimming to address the three canopy contact points, and a re-inspection at six months found the exclusion fully intact with no new activity.
Rodent Control FAQs — Hunters Creek Village
Why are roof rats so common in Hunters Creek Village?
Roof rats are arboreal — they live and travel in trees. Hunters Creek's mature pecan, oak, and other canopy trees provide continuous elevated travel routes from lot to lot and tree to roofline. The wooded character that defines the neighborhood also makes it a prime roof rat environment. Unlike Norway rats, which burrow in the ground, roof rats almost exclusively enter homes from above.
Why do roof rats keep coming back after bait treatment?
Bait reduces the active rat population but does not prevent new rats from entering the structure. As long as entry points remain open, new individuals — from the surrounding canopy — will move in. Permanent exclusion, sealing all structural entry points with chew-proof materials, is the only lasting solution. Bait is a supplement to exclusion, not a replacement for it.
Do you need to treat multiple buildings on my property?
Yes, for lasting results. If we seal the main house but leave the garage open, rats will shift their activity and continue accessing the canopy above both buildings. Multi-structure properties must be treated as a unified system — all buildings sealed in the same program.
How do I know if I have rats in my attic?
The most common signs are scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic or walls — especially at night when rats are most active. You may also find droppings in the attic, gnaw marks on wiring, insulation, or wood, and oily rub marks along travel routes near entry points. A strong musky odor in the attic can also indicate active rodent activity.
Is rodent bait safe around my children and pets?
All bait is placed in tamper-resistant stations that prevent access by children and pets while remaining accessible to rodents. Station placement is also selected to keep stations away from areas of regular human or pet activity. We discuss placement with you before installation.
Do I need to trim my trees as part of rodent control?
Tree trimming is strongly recommended wherever canopy branches contact or overhang the roofline — it is the most effective long-term prevention measure for roof rats. We identify all contact and near-contact branches during inspection and can provide trimming recommendations, though the trimming itself is performed by your arborist.
