Wildlife Exclusion

Exclusion is the long-term fix. Our team identifies every potential entry point on your home and installs exclusion devices and seals to stop wildlife getting in. Removal solves today. Exclusion solves next season.

When to call

Signs you need wildlife exclusion.

  • You have had an animal removed before and it, or another, came back
  • Gaps, holes or damaged vents on the outside of the house

How we do it

Our approach to wildlife exclusion.

01

Map every way in

We walk the whole structure: roofline, vents, chimney, siding, decks and the trees beside the house.

02

Close it with the right material

Each opening gets the right fix, from caulk and sealing to screens, vent guards and chimney caps.

03

Plan around the animal

Some exclusions, bats especially, have to be timed so that no animals are sealed inside. We plan the work around that.

Why not just remove the animal?

Because the opening it used is still there. Other animals follow the same scent and the same route. Sealing the entry points is what stops the cycle.

Is bat exclusion done differently?

Yes. Bats are handled with specialized methods, and timing matters because young bats cannot fly in early summer. We will explain the right timing for your home.
