Attic Guard keeps rodents out of Jamul, CA homes by sealing the ways they get in and cleaning up what they leave behind. We are a licensed California contractor, license number 1138505, we are not exterminators, and our sealing work is backed by a 3 year warranty.
The inspection is free, we answer the phone 24 hours a day, and same day service is often available. Out here in the Jamul backcountry, where houses sit against ranch land and open canyon, a thorough seal is the only thing that keeps rodents from treating your attic like part of the property.
Signs a rodent has moved into your Jamul attic
Most people hear the problem before they see it. Scratching or scampering across the ceiling after dark, droppings that show up along baseboards or in the garage, chew marks on wood and wiring, and a sour musky odor that will not clear are the usual tells.
On rural Jamul lots you might also notice them coming and going near a woodpile, a barn, or the crawl space. By the time the signs are obvious there is usually a nest, so the sooner we inspect, the less damage there is to clean up.
Comprehensive Rodent Exclusion with 3-Year Warranty
Jamul is rural, and that is exactly what rodents want. Homes here back up to chaparral, canyon, and reserves like Rancho Jamul and Hollenbeck Canyon, and a lot of properties run to acreage with barns, sheds, animal feed, and horse setups.
That mix of cover, food, and open ground supports far more rats and mice than a coastal subdivision ever deals with. When nights cool off in the hills toward Deerhorn Valley and Lyons Valley, those rodents look for somewhere warm, and a vented attic is the easiest target on the property.
A seal that would be overkill in town is about right for a Jamul home.
Rodents need almost nothing to get inside. A mouse slips through an opening the size of a dime and a rat through one about the size of a quarter, so the gap that let them in is usually one you would walk past. We inspect the attic and the full exterior and map every opening before we seal a thing.
Roof, gable, and soffit vents get covered with galvanized steel mesh that still lets the attic breathe. We close the eave gaps where the roof meets the walls, fill foundation cracks and utility holes with steel wool, foam sealant, and mesh, and seal the openings around plumbing, electrical, and HVAC lines.
Garage doors get rodent seals and bottom weatherstripping, and the exterior AC lines and condenser get sealed where they pass the wall.
On the openings that take the most abuse we use 16 gauge galvanized steel hardware cloth and chew proof materials, because a rat will keep working a weak spot until it gives.
Clearing out the waste and contaminated insulation
We seal, we do not exterminate
Backed by a 3 year rodent proofing warranty
A rodent problem leaves the attic dirty and unsafe. Droppings, urine, and nesting material collect in the insulation and can carry bacteria and viruses, including the one that causes hantavirus, which matters in rural county areas like Jamul.
We remove the waste and any insulation the rodents contaminated, then sanitize the surfaces with hospital grade disinfectants. We follow that with odor neutralizing treatment and air purifiers, because the scent left behind is an open invitation to the next rodent.
When contaminated insulation has to come out, we can put fresh insulation back so your attic is protected rather than left bare.
We are not exterminators, and we do not lean on poison, because poison does not solve a rodent problem, it postpones it.
Bait kills what is already inside while leaving every entry point wide open for the next ones, and a rat that dies in a wall cavity leaves a smell you cannot get to for weeks.
It also endangers the owls, hawks, and pets that eat poisoned rodents. Trapping runs into the same wall, it lowers the count without shutting the door.
Our work is humane and nontoxic. We clear the rodents, seal the home so more cannot follow, and clean the attic out. Sealing is the part that actually ends it.
We put a warranty on the sealing because we trust the work. If any sealed area fails and rodents are present within the warranty period, we come back and reseal it at no additional cost, and that coverage runs 3 years on the areas we sealed.
It is why we hunt down every opening the first time instead of closing the obvious ones and hoping.

We couldn't be happier with this service. This company took care of the rats in the attic areas, and filled gaps in the roof/garage/gutters/and vent areas. Service was exactly what we needed. They filled the gaps, blew in new insulation, and repaired a few ducts in the attic that the rats nested in.
We did receive a nice binder from a bigger company but that just showed us they had too much for advertising and we were going with a smaller business for more personal care. AtticGuard's work got rid of the critters, and our rooms are now insulated properly.
We would definitely recommend this company!

These guys should get 6 stars, really. The entire process was perfection, everything they told me was exactly how everything were done and more to the point, I'm so happy with the results. My home is free of rat sounds, etc etc.. It's embarrassing to say this but I should have done this a long time ago. But alls well now. You can not go wrong with this company and may I say that my Technician Mike was amazing. Mike is exactly what all companies want in an employee. The guys that came to do the work also are awesome reps for AtticGuard. Thank you everyone.

Matt and his team were amazing. They removed old and installed new insulation, rodent proofed and sanitized the attic, garage and carport. They were thorough, friendly and patient.
Loui was the best during the inspection and cost estimates. He was really patient in explaining the details of the job and went above and beyond in ensuring all that was discussed when we first met was executed per the agreement.
I highly recommend AtticGuard!

The crawl space and attic insulation services were fantastic! I was worried about drafts and uneven temperatures, but after their work, the difference is night and day. They explained everything clearly and left the areas spotless. Truly a professional job!

We highly recommend this company for anyone who has a problem with rodents in their attic. We had heard some noises that sounded like they were coming from inside the walls near our bedroom. Mike came out on a Sunday to do the inspection - turns out we had a major mouse infestation in the attic. He very thoroughly explained the extent of the problem and the proposed method for remediation. Two days later, Josh and his crew arrived at 8:30 am and began removing the old insulation. The attic was then cleaned and sanitized, and new insulation was blown in. The job was done before 5pm that day. Every step of the process, including the inspection and clean-up was photographed. This company is highly ethical and they take the time to explain everything and answer any questions. There was no upselling - we had some HVAC ducts that needed repair and they included that in the job, rather than trying to sell us new ducts.

I decided to call AtticGuard because they currently have a special promotion of $85 (normally $400) to clean any droppings and rodent proof your attic.
We just moved to Temecula last year and discovered that rats and mice live in the area, so I just wanted to make sure they couldn't gain access to our attic where we used to have all kinds of critters (squirrels, raccoons) back in the state of RI.
Mike came in to inspect and confirmed that everything looked fine. Insulation was up to standard and he made sure there were no tunnels to indicate rodent infestation.
Mike was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and informative.
This company doesn't charge fees if no cleanup or additional work other than inspection is necessary. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you live in a place where there's a lot of wildlife, especially rodents!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with AtticGuard for an inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, the company was incredibly professional, ensuring clear communication about appointment times and even following up with me to confirm details.
Mike, the inspector who came to my location, was nothing short of fantastic. She was super polite, knowledgeable, and thorough in her assessment. Mike took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I understood the findings. Her expertise was evident, and I felt completely confident in the results she provided.
Overall, I highly recommend AtticGuard to anyone in need of their services. They truly go above and beyond, and I appreciate their commitment to excellent customer service. Thank you for a job well done!

FAQ
What are the first signs of rodents in a Jamul home?
Noises in the ceiling at night, droppings along walls or in the attic and garage, gnaw marks on wood or wire, and a lingering musky smell. Rural properties may also see activity near barns, woodpiles, and the crawl space. Any of these is reason for a free inspection.
Do you put down poison or set traps?
No. We are not exterminators. We remove the rodents, seal every entry point with chew proof materials, and clean and sanitize the attic. Sealing is what stops them from returning, and poison and traps do not.
How long does the rodent proofing warranty last?
Three years on the areas we sealed. If rodents get back in through one of those areas within that time, we return and reseal it at no cost to you.
Will you replace the insulation the rodents ruined?
Yes. We take out droppings, urine, nests, and contaminated insulation, sanitize the space, and can install new insulation so the attic is back to full protection.
ow much does rodent proofing cost in Jamul, and can I finance it?
It depends on your home’s size, how many openings need sealing, and how much cleanup the attic needs. You get a written price after the free inspection. Financing is available, and military, seniors, and first responders get 10 percent off.
How soon can you get to my Jamul property?
We take calls 24 hours a day and can often come the same day. A rodent problem grows fast, so quick response keeps the damage and the cleanup smaller.
