Wildlife Exclusion
Sealing Your Home
Exclusion work is the term for sealing your home (while also letting it breathe when necessary) to help prevent rodents and wildlife from entering. Exclusion consist of sealants, foam, backers, wire mesh, as well as prefabricated and custom metal work. Exclusion devices can be installed from roof top to ground level to prevent digging.
​
Below are some examples of what we do to help exclude wildlife from your home.

Ground Exclusion
This work tends to be custom modification of hardware cloth, heavy gauge panels, wood work, custom metal work and/or underground fencing. These techniques help prevent critters like skunks, woodchucks and other burrowing wildlife.
Foundation Wrap
Mostly heavier gauge metal prefabricated material wrapped the exterior of the foundation, window wells, or crawl space doors to create a tight seal. This seals off mostly rodents and a wildlife like raccoons
Gable Vent Screen
Custom fabrication is the primary process to get this sealed on the home vents. Not all vents are created equal which is why we stock the proper metal material to make vents and sealants to keep this clean, tight, and breathable. These vents present an EZpass for raccoons, bats and squirrels.
Soffit Return
A process used to box out soffits (where roof line meets side walls) that have been used as an entrance for raccoons, squirrels, bats etc. This is mostly metal work, using heavy gauge flashing or a paintable steel material with sealants for a tight seal.
Vent Covers
This is a large category ranging from dryer vent covers, bathroom vent covers, roof stack covers, chimney vent covers. This comes in forms of prefabricated and custom material to seal out rodents, squirrels birds etc. Precaution needs to be taken on what material to be used for proper cleaning and breathability.
Ridge Vents
Often overlooked, ridge vents can allow smaller critters to squeeze into your home from above. This is a chaseway to the attic of your home that needs to be sealled using a medium gauge material that is bendable but still sturdy enough to keep the critters out. puts this so formed and screw down with minimal pressure for a tight seal around the entire ridge vent but allowing it to breath so the hole can pass air in the attic.
