The gaps are smaller than you think.
A deer mouse fits through a hole the size of a pencil. That is why spraying and bait never solve it for long: the next one walks in the same way. We close every opening with material a rodent cannot chew.

How a sealing job goes.
The same five steps on every house, whether it is a cabin in Kachina Village or a newer build in Presidio.
Inspect, top to bottom
Roof line, attic, vents, garage, crawl space and every pipe and cable that goes through a wall. About 90 minutes.
Written plan and price
You get a photo of each entry point and a fixed price for the whole job. No surprises later.
Trap what is inside
Snap traps in the attic and crawl space, never loose poison where pets or owls can get it.
Seal every gap
Usually one day. Steel, copper and metal flashing, painted to match where it shows.
Check at 2 weeks
We pull the traps, check every seal and give you the 12-month guarantee in writing.
- Roof line and chimney chase
- Gable and attic vents
- Eaves where fascia meets shingle
- Garage door corners
- AC line and hose bib holes
- Crawl space vents and weep gaps
One person does the inspection and the work.
I started Talley Pest & Exclusion in 2014 after six years doing carpentry and roofing around Flagstaff. I kept finding mouse nests in the walls I opened up, and the houses had been sprayed and baited for years.
So I do it the builder's way. I find the holes, close them with metal, and come back to make sure it held. My helper Luis handles the attic cleanups and trap checks. The person who quotes your job is the person on your roof.

★★★★★
Pack rats had built a nest on top of our engine twice in one winter. Ezra cleared the garage, sealed the door corners with metal and we have not seen one since. He sent photos of every spot he fixed.
★★★★★
We paid another company for monthly bait for three years. Talley found eleven gaps in one afternoon. The scratching in the ceiling stopped within a week.
★★★★★
Clear price before he started, showed up when he said, and the vent screens look like they came with the house. Worth every dollar.
If one gets back in, we come back.
For 12 months after we seal your house, if a rodent gets in through any gap we closed, we come back, find it and fix it at no charge. Traps and visits included.
Renewal is $95 a year and includes a full roof-to-crawl-space check every fall.
Where we work.
Based on the east side of Flagstaff. No trip fee within 30 minutes. Farther out we group jobs on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Cabin up a forest road? That is fine. In winter, tell us if the drive needs four-wheel drive and we will plan for it.

Good questions.
If yours is not here, call or text. Ezra answers between jobs.
- Why not just put out bait?
- Bait kills the mice that find it, but new ones keep coming in the same holes, and poisoned mice die in your walls. Sealing stops the traffic. We use bait only in locked stations outside, and only if you ask.
- How long does sealing take?
- Most homes take one full day. Bigger cabins or houses with a lot of roof line can take two. You do not need to be home once we have seen the inside.
- Will the metal look ugly?
- No. Vent screens sit behind the vent covers, and any flashing that shows is bent to fit and painted to match your trim.
- Do you deal with pack rats in cars?
- Yes, it is one of our most common calls. We clear the nest from the garage, trap the rat and seal the garage. We cannot work on the engine itself, but we tell you what to ask your mechanic to check.
- What about hantavirus?
- Deer mice in Northern Arizona can carry it. We wear respirators, wet down droppings before cleanup, and bag everything. Please do not sweep or vacuum droppings yourself.
- Do you work in winter?
- Yes, winter is our busiest season. Roof work waits for a dry day, but inspections, trapping and garage sealing go on all year.
