Animal Exclusion & Damage Repair
The Only Permanent Solution to Wildlife Infestations
📞 CALL: 866-795-9520Why Exclusion Matters
Wildlife removal without exclusion is like a "revolving door." Animals leave scent trails (pheromones) that act as a map for other wildlife. Even if you trap the current intruder, a new one will find the exact same hole within weeks.
- Stops Recurring Costs: Pay for a permanent fix once rather than trapping fees every season.
- Protects Structural Integrity: Prevents chewed wiring, rotted wood, and torn shingles.
- Health Safety: Keeps contaminated nesting materials and droppings out of your home environment.
When is Exclusion Recommended?
After Successful Removal
Once the target animal is out, the very next step should be a full seal-up to protect the "vacuum" left behind that draws in new pests.
Bat & Bird Prevention
For colonies of bats or nesting birds, exclusion is often the only legal and effective way to clear a structure in Southern Indiana.
Persistent Entry Issues
If you've had "unlucky" animal encounters year after year, your home likely has construction vulnerabilities that need professional reinforcement.
Professional Prevention Checklist
Ridge Vents
Installing stainless steel mesh guards that allow airflow but stop bats and squirrels from squeezing into the attic.
Soffit & Fascia
Reinforcing "munch holes" where raccoons pull apart wood or vinyl to enter the roofline.
Foundation Gaps
Sealing crawl space entries and rim joists to prevent mice, rats, and snakes from nesting under the house.
Gable Vents
Adding internal screening to prevent birds and bats from nesting in louvers while maintaining proper ventilation.
Exclusion & Repair FAQ
Why is professional exclusion better than DIY repairs?
Most DIY fixes use materials like spray foam or wood that animals can chew through in minutes. Professionals use heavy-gauge galvanized steel, high-performance sealants, and concrete to ensure animals cannot regain entry.
Can exclusion work for mice and rats?
Absolutely. In fact, exclusion is the only way to stop a rodent infestation long-term. We identify and seal gaps as small as a dime around your foundation and utility lines to create a rodent-proof barrier.
