01THE PROBLEM
A 1920s House Has 100 Years of Doors It Never Meant to Build.
Settled stone foundations, gapped siding corners, original vents with rusted screens, and balloon-framed walls that connect them all straight to the attic. Old construction hands wildlife an interstate. Exclusion on these houses is craftsmanship, and it is the only thing that ends the cycle.
AFoundations that gap a little more each decade
Stone and early-concrete walls open seams as they settle, and every seam is a mouse door. We close them with mortar-grade fills and steel, materials that age slower than the foundation does.
BThe canopy commute onto your roof
Englewood’s old silver maples put squirrels level with fascia boards all over Bates-Logan and Romans Park. Once through a soffit corner, they treat balloon-framed walls as elevators. Metal flashing at the entry points ends the commute.
CWalls that deliver guests to every floor
Open balloon framing means a mouse entering at the sill can exit into the attic, or your kitchen wall. Capping cavities and sealing the sill line breaks the internal highway old framing built.
DDroppings a century in the making
Attics and cellars that hosted generations of rodents hold serious contamination, and Colorado deer mice make disturbance a health risk. HEPA equipment and respirators are the standard, not the upgrade.
02THE FIX
Steel the Openings. Clear the History. Deter the Future.
Traps manage a symptom. On old houses the cure is construction-grade: exclusion, remediation, and deterrent insulation from one crew.

Our verdict: what stops this fall’s scratching for good. When TAP completes it: generational contamination means replacement anyway, TAP makes it prevention. See insulation removal in Englewood. | ||
03WHAT TO EXPECT
Every Gap Steeled. Every Trace Gone. On Paper.
An Englewood exclusion project, survey to certificate:
Foundation seams, siding corners, soffits, vents, and chimney caps, every era’s weak point gets checked and photographed into your entry map.
Nests, droppings, and soiled material leave through HEPA-filtered equipment under deer-mouse protocols. Cellars get the same treatment as attics.
Mortar-grade fills in the stone, steel mesh at vents, flashing at soffit corners and roof returns, chimney caps where the survey demands.
Antimicrobial treatment neutralizes decades of pheromone trails, the invisible signage that has advertised your house since before you owned it.
Borate-treated cellulose rebuilds the insulation, then a final pass on every sealed point with photos added to your records, and the guarantee behind it.

"Squirrels had used our 1922 house near Romans Park for a decade, three companies, three failed patches. Grizzly flashed every soffit corner, steeled the foundation seams, and replaced the ruined insulation with TAP. Two years silent, guarantee still in the drawer."

05QUESTIONS
Rodent-Proofing in Englewood, Answered Straight
Age multiplies openings: settled foundations, dried-out siding joints, rusted vent screens, and balloon framing that turns one entry into whole-house access. Wildlife reads a 1920s block as habitat. Exclusion closes the century’s accumulated doors with materials that do not age out.
The survey sets it: era gap count, intruder mix, contamination age, and how much insulation needs the TAP rebuild. Old homes carry more entry points than new ones, and still, one thorough exclusion generally undercuts a few years of recurring pest contracts. Line items in writing first.
Yes, exclusion is eviction, not extermination. One-way doors let animals leave and not return, then flashing and steel close the architecture behind them. It is also the only approach that works long-term, because the next squirrel finds the same sealed corner.
Treat it as if yes. Colorado deer mice can carry hantavirus, and decades-old droppings aerosolize when swept or vacuumed with household gear. Our protocol, HEPA filtration, respirators, antimicrobial treatment, exists precisely for this material.
Most Englewood homes are surveyed, sealed, and cleaned inside two days; straightforward exclusions finish in one. Squirrel work sometimes adds a short one-way-door phase first, nothing gets sealed inside, ever.
Then the guarantee brings us back, and the fix is on us at a sealed point. In practice steel, flashing, and a scent-neutralized, TAP-insulated attic remove both access and incentive, which is why we can put the promise in writing.
