Open Perimeter Tile Roof
Tile roof buildings are complicated by the fact that rodents can slip under the tiles. Once inside this tile space, animals can enter the attic by chewing holes through the actual roof or by passing through normal
gaps in the roof where vents pass through. This is not an easy path for animal entry. But if its not addressed, the building will remain vulnerable. Besides the building perimeter, other places animals can get underneath the tiles include
the roof peaks or seams and the mini-perimeters surrounding vents.

Trap Maintenance
In buildings where the tile roof is not sealed, rodents traps should permanently stay in the attic. If the traps stay, then any animals that enter in the future will be caught before a true
infestation can begin. The downside of this is that someone will need to follow-up on trap activity by monitoring the attic.

Method for Sealing Roof
Wildlife Patrol permanently secures tile roofs by drilling steel hardware cloth over every gap. This process is performed tile by tile around the building. The steel screen does not change roof function at all - water drainage and ventillation is unchanged.
