A rodent entrance blocking device and method includes a doorframe that has a first vertical support and a second vertical support. A base has a bottom side, a top side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. A distance from the first lateral side to the second lateral side is substantially equal to a distance between the first and second vertical supports. A rigid plate has a bottom edge, a top edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. The bottom edge is hingedly coupled to top side of the base. The plate extends between the first and second lateral sides. A biasing member is mechanically coupled to the plate and biases the plate in a vertical orientation. The base is positioned between the first and second vertical supports of the doorframe. The base extends between the first and second vertical supports.
