[ ] Rodent evidence: list affected rental rooms and the droppings, nests, chewed packaging, entry holes or hidden smells found; attach photos and request the inspection findings in writing.
[ ] Rodent exclusion: identify inside and outside entry gaps, photographs and inspection coverage; distinguish the opening survey from the repairs included in the bid.
[ ] Rodent entry-hole materials: state the small-hole filling and larger-hole repair materials, pipe details and the crew responsible for the exclusion work.
[ ] Rodent trapping: name the proposed trap type and locations; describe how children and pets are kept away from traps and bait, and distinguish any persistent-infestation bait proposal.
[ ] Rodent follow-up: identify trap-check assignments, bait checks, included visits, activity reports and repeat work if signs continue.
[ ] Dead rodent handling: state who promptly removes and disposes of carcasses, retaining EPA’s wildlife and pet precaution.
[ ] Rodent prevention: list the entry-hole sealing, nesting-site work and food or water source tasks that the proposal includes, with rental maintenance assignments stated separately.
