Keeping wildlife and rodents out of your home with exclusion

Dealing with rodents and wildlife pests can be frustrating and time-consuming for any homeowner. To prevent these pests from entering in the first place, consider exclusion. Wildlife and rodent exclusion services prevent these pests from entering a home or building by sealing up entry points and creating barriers.1 By doing so, homeowners can protect their property, maintain a healthy living environment, and avoid the ongoing hassle of dealing with pest infestations.

How rodent and wildlife exclusion works

Keeping pests out of your home before they become a problem is the main goal of rodent and wildlife exclusion because even the smallest gaps can make your home vulnerable to pest entry and infestation.

Our exclusion services address infestations2 and seal potential entry points, helping to prevent future problems. Our technicians use strong materials, like Flexi Armourâ„¢ products, made with durable, knitted stainless steel mesh, and other methods to create a barrier to keep pests away. These materials can be used to block entry points like gaps around pipes, vents, and the roof, preventing rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, birds, and more from getting in. Creating a physical barrier keeps these pests out, protecting your home and those living there.

Wildlife and rodent exclusion methods can quickly show results. After securing and sealing potential entry points, you should instantly begin to notice a significant reduction in pest activity. Regular, professional barrier checks and maintenance are essential to ensure exclusion methods stay effective over time. With proper installation and maintenance, exclusion methods can provide a long-term solution to pest problems.

Signs you need rodent exclusion services

When safeguarding your home against unwanted visitors such as rodents, wildlife, and other pests, recognizing the early signs of an infestation is crucial. Timely detection and intervention can prevent minor issues from escalating into full-blown infestations, saving you time, money, and stress. Here are some key indicators that you might need rodent or wildlife exclusion services:

  • Droppings and urine: Rodent droppings are often small and dark, and urine stains are clear indicators of infestation.
  • Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or rustling sounds in walls, attics, or basements, especially at night, can signal the presence of rodents or wildlife.
  • Gnaw marks: Look for gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or the structure of your home.
  • Nesting materials: Shredded paper, fabric, or plant matter in hidden areas or seldom-used spaces suggest pests are building nests.
  • Pet behavior: Unusual pet behavior, such as excessive barking, yowling, or fixation on specific areas, could indicate that rodents or wildlife are present.
  • Strange odors: Musty or unpleasant smells can indicate rodent activity, especially in food storage areas.
