Professional Wildlife Exclusion

Wildlife Exclusion

Wildlife exclusion is one of the most important steps in the wildlife removal process, as, without it, pests can get into your home again and again. When you have just had a nuisance wildlife problem removed, this should be one of the next steps you take, as it can save you a lot of time and money in the future.

 Wildlife Exclusion

After a nuisance wildlife issue is resolved, you have only begun the process of bringing your home back to normal. If you do not have a wildlife exclusion performed, you may be dealing with nuisance wildlife over and over again in the future. When you have determined you want animals to stay out permanently, you should definitely consider a wildlife exclusion service to be performed. 

Since nuisance wildlife is so adept at finding their way into virtually any home, wildlife exclusion focuses on the whole picture. With that being said, one area, in particular, is a hotspot for nuisance wildlife, and this area is around the roofline of your home. One of the most common places that pests get into homes is around the fascia and soffit of a home. They will often chew their own holes straight into these materials, though often there will already be small holes for them to start with. In addition to the soffit and fascia, the actual roof can present a problem. Sometimes shingles are loose and many animals will be able to chew their way through into your attic. Once in your attic, there is the potential for heavy damage. Between the destruction of lumber, potential fire hazards involving chewed wire, and the destruction of your insulation, there are many damages that can have a serious effect on your home. In addition to these areas, chimneys are also another easy place that many animals will get into. This can be serious as it can lead to the risk for fires, dead animal smells, and many other problems.

When dealing with some of the smaller animals, even the cracks and gaps that can be found along the foundations of homes can be a serious problem area. Rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, and snakes can all squeeze their way through very small holes. In the same respect, any loose weather strips on doors and windows can also lead to entry by smaller nuisance animals.
