Rodent proofing in Yardley starts with finding how squirrels, raccoons, mice or bats are actually getting in, not with laying traps around the yard. On the borough's older frame houses near the canal, that usually means a gap where a soffit or fascia board has pulled away from a century of weather. Across the split-level and colonial streets of Lower Makefield's Heacock Meadows, Yardley Estates and Makefield Glen developments, it is more often a gable vent screen that has rusted through or a roofline seam that was never sealed tight to begin with.
Once the entry points are mapped, our crew closes them with materials built to outlast squirrels chewing at a soffit corner or raccoons working at a loose fascia board, not a patch that fails the next season. Anything already living in the insulation gets removed using humane methods, and any material it nested in, soiled or tore apart comes out before the space is sanitized. Only after the space is clean and every opening is sealed does new insulation go back in, because insulating over a contaminated void just buys the next animal a warmer place to nest.
The inspection covers both ends of the house. An attic in the historic district and a crawl space under a Lower Makefield ranch fail in different spots, so the estimate spells out exactly which openings were found, what came out of the space, and what it takes to seal it for good. It is free, written and specific to your attic or crawl space, not a generic checklist.
Six calls that come up around a Yardley rodent-proofing job most often, each starting with the same free inspection.
The four conditions we run into most on a Yardley rodent-proofing call, in the attic and underneath the house alike.
A century of freeze and thaw has worked soffit and fascia joints loose on plenty of older buildings downtown, and even Lower Makefield's newer split-levels develop the same gaps as caulking and flashing age. Either way, the opening is usually smaller and higher up than homeowners expect.
Mature tree cover through Heacock Meadows, Yardley Estates and the streets around the historic district puts a roofline within easy jumping distance of a squirrel or raccoon on most Yardley properties. Bats favor the same gaps, using a ridge vent or fascia seam long before anyone notices droppings or a sharp odor.
Once an animal has nested for a season, the insulation under it is matted, soiled and often torn apart for bedding. Leaving it in place after the entry point is sealed just traps the smell and the health risk inside the attic or crawl space, so it comes out before we call a job finished.
Bucks County's freeze-thaw winters send squirrels, mice and raccoons looking for a warm, dry space right about when the first hard cold snap hits, and an attic over a heated living space is exactly that. Fall is when most of the entry points we find actually got made.
Better insulation. Sealed gaps. Cleaner air. Lower bills.

Master Attic did a phenomenal job with our attic insulation and duct replacement. We had a loss from smoke damage from a neighboring fire and we were met with compassion and excellent customer service from Danny Jones and Jorge Diaz. We chose them for their quality of work, expertise and fair pricing and they got the job done promptly. Thank you for the excellent work and we will be recommending you highly!
We just had our attic insulation replaced, and the entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. Robert is knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with at the initial estimate period. Roberta and his crew did a great job replacing the attic insulation for our house. They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They did everything that needed to be done and left the space clean and in excellent condition. I am very happy that I chose Master Attic and would highly recommend them.
Dan Jones and the Ronald crew did a great job from start to finish! I had original insulation in my attic with no electricity, not an easy job. Our upstairs was very hot in the summer and cold in winter. With having central air, we still needed AC units and space heaters to manage. Dan set up a great plan to eliminate that. He and his crew were able to come and finish the job shortly after we first met. They were quick, clean and managed to crawl into small spaces to remove old insulation and install fresh insulation. We have already noticed a major difference! Highly recommended!!
We hired Master Attic to clean out debris, mice, old insulation, and replace with new insulation in both our attic spaces. Roberto and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were extremely professional, polite, and did a fantastic job. They invited my husband to see the attic after each step, and took pictures on their phone to show me since I could not get up in the attic. They took the time to protect the space with plastic sheeting before the job up in the attic, and then cleaned up everything perfectly afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Great job by the team. Cleaned out the entire attic and replaced all the old insulation with new fresh insulation. Made a huge difference. Alex was great to work with and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience from start to finish. Rob provided a great assessment and capabilities overview, arrived on time and was very generous and thorough in explaining the work. I signed on the spot. A crew of six arrived (again, on time) and completely transformed our attic space - thoroughly cleaned out the old insulation (looked spotless afterwards), sanitized the space, sealed it/rodent proofed it, added baffles and of course, replaced the insulation and added more in areas that needed it. Completed the whole job in half a day and we are delighted with the result. Thank you, Master Attic team, for a job very well done! Highest recommendation.
What a great experience I had with this company and its employees. It started with initially interacting with Joe who came out for the estimate. He was funny because he came down from my attic and said "have you seen up there". I laughed because I had and I knew it was bad. He was no pressure and no nonsense. Gave me an estimate and said if I wanted we could have the work done next day. I wasn't ready for that but after some schedule juggling I told him we could be ready. Joe had his guys out next morning with the best part being Jorge calling me to advise he was about thirty minutes out. I appreciate when I am given a heads up as to ETA. Three of them arrived Jorge set out plastic and covered exposed furniture. Jorge, Angel and Gonzalo were all polite and worked hard to complete the task. They worked efficiently and were done quickly. Jorge made sure he included me in each step of the process and when I saw the finished product I was amazed. I can actually use my attic for storage if I choose to do so. I did not realize when they were here that they also do work on crawlspace areas. I will be calling them back to see what they can do for my crawlspace which easily rivals the diasaster called my attic. I recommend at least giving this company and its employees an opportunity to help you.
Great company to work with. From beginning to end, Dan came out, spent plenty of time with me going over everything that needed to be done, and the process of everything that needed to be updated it both attics. His professionalism was top notch, answered all my question and concerns. When it came time for George and his six-man crew to do the work their quality of workmanship was well above average, they were here the whole day, and I don't think they even had a lunch break (hopefully I don't get him in trouble). They all worked and everyone knew what their job was, they removed all the insulation, cleaned, spray foamed all holes and top plates, re-insulated both attics and cleaned up like they weren't even here. Will definitely use them again.
Master Attic remediated a bat issue for us back in October and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job they did. The work was guaranteed and they encouraged us to call if we say any further evidence of bats. Well, there were a few droppings in the attic and they quickly responded to our concerns. Jose’s crew came out on a SUNDAY, inspected the attic, and sealed up several spots that could be entry points. They were professional, efficient, and kind. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
It starts with a full inspection to find every gap squirrels, raccoons, mice or bats are using, whether that is a soffit seam on a historic district frame house or a gable vent screen on a Lower Makefield split-level. Every opening gets sealed with materials built to outlast chewing, anything nested in the insulation gets removed, and the space is sanitized as the last step before we walk you through what was found.
It depends on what we find. Sealing a single confirmed opening on a straightforward Lower Makefield roofline moves quickly, while a historic district attic with multiple entry points, heavy contamination or a raccoon-sized breach takes longer to seal and clean properly. The schedule for your specific job is part of the written estimate.
Sometimes, depending on the specific policy and what caused the damage, but coverage for the exclusion and cleanup work itself varies too much for us to promise anything either way. What we can do is put a detailed written estimate in your hands that you can bring to your insurer and ask them about directly.
Often, yes. If the insulation is dry and the contamination is limited to a small area near the entry point, sealing the opening and spot-treating that section can be enough. A wider infestation, torn-up insulation across the attic floor, or a raccoon-sized breach usually calls for the fuller cleanup and sanitizing instead, which the inspection tells us before we quote anything.
We walk the roofline and check every soffit, fascia, gable vent and utility penetration from the ground and, where access allows, from inside the attic or crawl space itself. Droppings, chewed insulation, staining and scratch marks point us to the active opening, and older canal-era homes usually need a closer look at the fascia than newer Lower Makefield construction does.
No, sealing comes first. We close every entry point the animals are using, then deal with whatever they left behind in the insulation. Clearing out contaminated material before the openings are sealed just gives the next animal a way back into a freshly cleaned space, so sealing first is what keeps the fix from undoing itself.
Newtown, Langhorne and Morrisville come up often, along with Middletown Township, Washington Crossing and Bensalem, and the rest of Bucks County beyond. Crews are in this part of eastern Pennsylvania on a regular basis, so a rodent-proofing call rarely means a special trip out.
The principle stays the same, seal every opening and clean up what got contaminated, but the openings themselves differ. A crawl space usually lets animals in through a torn vent screen, a gap beneath the crawl door, or a skirting panel pulled loose near ground level, rather than a roofline gap, so the inspection walks both areas on foot rather than assuming one matches the other.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
