Exclusion & Repair
We find and seal the entry points animals use, with durable materials and one-way exclusion devices so animals can leave but not re-enter.
Removing animals is only half of the job. Exclusion and repair closes the openings they used, so the problem does not come back.
We seal entry points in attic vents, soffits, chimneys, foundations and roof gaps with durable materials, and we install one-way exclusion devices so animals can leave but cannot re-enter. We also remove brush around the property.
Signs you need exclusion and repair
Wildlife problems rarely fix themselves, and they often get more costly to deal with the longer they continue. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth having your property looked at early.
- Scratching, scurrying or other animal noises in the attic, walls or soffits.
- Visible gaps, damaged screens or loose covers around attic vents and soffits.
- Openings around chimneys, foundations or where the roof meets the siding.
- Animals seen going in or out of the same spot on the house more than once.
- A past removal where animals found another way back in.
How we do it
- Inspection: we look over attic vents, soffits, chimneys, foundations and roof gaps to find the entry points animals are using.
- One-way exclusion devices: we install devices so animals can leave on their own but cannot get back in.
- Sealing: we close the entry points with durable materials once the animals are out.
- Brush removal: we remove brush around the property as part of the work.
Our process follows the same careful, humane approach on every job and is adjusted to the animal and your property. We explain each step as we go, so you always know what is being done and why.

If you are not sure whether you need exclusion and repair, call anyway and we will help you work out what is going on and what to do next.

Removal deals with the animals. Exclusion and repair deals with the openings: we find and seal entry points with durable materials and use one-way devices so animals can leave but not re-enter.
Where do you look for entry points?
Attic vents, soffits, chimneys, foundations and gaps in the roof are common places, and we inspect all of them.
Is exclusion part of your animal removal work?
Yes. Sealing entry points is part of how we handle animals such as bats, squirrels and raccoons. Call us and we will tell you what your property needs.
