Rodent control and entry point sealing in Ottawa — FixItAll Handyman Services

Rodent control and entry point sealing in Ottawa — FixItAll Handyman Services


Hearing scratching sounds or finding droppings in your home?
I start with a focused inspection to identify where rodents are getting in (common spots include gaps around pipes, siding edges, vents, and foundation openings).
Then I seal entry points with pest-resistant materials (including professional-grade expanding foam, and metal mesh where it’s needed).
If appropriate, I place basic traps or deterrents in strategic locations to help reduce activity.
The goal is to stop new entry, improve hygiene, and restore peace of mind.
You get a cleaner, safer space with fewer unpleasant surprises.
Service is available across Ottawa and nearby areas.


What’s included: inspection of common entry routes, identification of gaps/openings, sealing of accessible entry points, and basic trap/deterrent placement (when suitable). I work neatly and protect surrounding surfaces during sealing.


When this service helps: scratching noises (especially at night), droppings, gnaw marks, food/package damage, or cold drafts coming from small gaps. If you’re seeing frequent activity or signs in multiple rooms, it usually means entry points are still open and should be addressed.


Process & result check: I locate likely access points, seal them, and then re-check the perimeter for missed gaps. I’ll also explain what was sealed and what to monitor over the next 1–2 weeks (new droppings, fresh gnawing, renewed noise). This helps confirm whether entry has been successfully blocked or if additional steps are needed.


Important limitations: This is a handyman-based prevention service (entry point sealing + basic traps). I do not perform licensed extermination services, large-scale baiting/poison programs, or hazardous cleanup. If there is a severe infestation, dead animals in walls/attics, or you need professional pesticide/bait treatment, I recommend hiring a licensed pest control company.


Work is performed by FixItAll Handyman Services (Ottawa). I’m a fully registered and insured sole proprietor in Ontario, and I focus on careful, practical home fixes. Before starting, I confirm the scope on-site and keep the work transparent—no surprise add-ons without approval.

FAQ — Rodent Entry Point Sealing in Ottawa

What exactly is included in this service?


I inspect common entry routes, identify accessible gaps/openings, seal entry points with pest-resistant materials, and place basic traps/deterrents when appropriate. I also explain what was sealed and what to monitor afterward.

Do you provide a flat rate or hourly pricing?


Pricing depends on how many entry points are found and how accessible they are. I confirm the scope on-site first, then clearly confirm the price before work begins. Materials (if needed) are discussed in advance.

What is NOT included (when do I need licensed pest control)?


I do not provide licensed extermination programs, large-scale baiting/poison treatment, or hazardous cleanup. If the infestation is severe, if there are dead animals inside walls/attics, or if pesticide/bait treatment is required, you should hire a licensed pest control professional.

How quickly will I see results?


Sealing prevents new entry immediately once openings are blocked. Existing activity can reduce over several days as rodents stop finding access. I recommend monitoring for 1–2 weeks for fresh signs so we can confirm the entry points are fully addressed.

Which areas do you serve?


Ottawa and nearby areas, including Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
