The Importance of Animal Exclusion Work

Any complete wildlife control and prevention strategy must include wildlife exclusion.

Exclusion is a method of preventing rodent and other wildlife infestations by inspecting and sealing all entry points into your home and its structure.

Trapping and removing an animal that has entered your home is only the first step in protecting your property. Nuisance wildlife  will find the vacant den site and start a new infestation if wildlife exclusion is not implemented after capture and removal.

The animal exclusion process is a long-term solution to any wildlife infestation because it creates a barrier between your home and future wildlife that is trying to get in.

Wildlife Exclusion & Animal Proofing Process

The first phase involves securing all of your home’s entry points (areas where nuisance animals enter).

Our wildlife specialists will investigate and evaluate the entire exterior of your home to find any weak points where an animal could get in.

To prevent future wildlife entry, these potential entry areas will be properly sealed, repaired, or fortified with animal proof materials.

Once the animals have been completely removed and there is no more activity, a disinfectant process should always take place to sanitize the areas the animals inhabited.

This is due to the fact that wild animals carry diseases that are harmful to humans along with problems that come along with the feces and urine.

Needless to say all of this must be cleaned, removed, and sanitized properly. In the case of urine soaked drywall or destroyed attic insulation, it must be replaced.

Areas Needing Wildlife Exclusion

  • Soffit To Roof Returns
  • Chimneys
  • Decks & Stoops
  • Attic Fans
  • Attic Vents
  • Ridge Vents

Rodents and other wild animals are constantly on the lookout for a safe, dry, and warm place for shelter. Especially when the time of year has come to birth their young. All of these listed areas are especially vulnerable to rodent entry because of their size and agility.

When it comes to rodents such as rats, mice and squirrels, they are known for frequently gnawing electrical wires, which can result in serious damage such as house fires in the range of 30k home fires annually. Rodent exclusion is the most time consuming type of exclusion since it requires the absolute smallest openings to be sealed up.
